(Above: I'm the one coming off the timing mat with the white swim cap)

Turned out to be a very nice morning. A nice cool front came in over night. The sun was out for the swim but then the sky turned overcast and stayed cool all morning.


  This Year                     Last Year 

   Time: 1:36:02                                                  Time: 1:34:59
    Overall Place: 33 of 185                                       Overall Place: 34 out of 168
    Place in Gender: 29 of 120     
    Place in Division M3034: 7 of 15                        Place in Division M3034: 6 of 23

    Swim:   16:33  Rate: 35:30                                  Swim: 19:46
      Transition 1:    1:47                                               Transition 1:   2:39

    Run :   27:21  Pace:  7:41                                     Run: 25:47 Rate 7:41

It may appear just by looking at the times that I was slower than last year but the bike and run courses were lengthened..  The bike was an extra two miles.  I couldnt believe it when i came out of the water for the first transition and saw that I had taken three minutes off my swim time from last year. I was feeling good and was real excited to get going on the bike leg for which I averaged two miles an hour faster from 17.5 to 19.4 and finished in almost the same amout of time of the shorter distance from last year.  

Actually, according to my computer I average 20.3mph, but guess I'll have to go by their official time.

The run was the same though, the hills killed me.  I focussed more on the swim and bike in my training and so my run suffered, well just didnt improve. 
Maybe I can figure it out next year and get all three to improve together.

Here are some nice event photos by Action Images.

awesome dude! i could do the swim, but that's where i'd need to stop for a Corona. i could do the bike ride on a Harley and only the run if being chased by the undead.

Nae: I'll do some searching. I'm sure there is a triathlon event held somewhere near you. We'll get you signed up so that next year you, luney, fatal, and I can all do one together. Heck you can even do it as a team where each person does one leg of the race. I'll race as an individual against you, luney, and fatal. haha :)
