Turkey Tri 2012 - standing next to two giants..lol. I got 5th place for my age group in this race!
St. George 70.3 Swim Start - beautiful lake but with freezing cold water!
I switched to an aero helmet, I think I am mentally going faster.
At the finish line with the ladies after completing a very challenging course. Lost my salt tablets, bottle of sport drink, completely dying on the big hilly bike course. On the run, 3 miles to the finish line, I cramped up on both legs.. couldn't even walk! Never mind with running.. A volunteer lady helped me to her chair, I literally bit her chair for a good a minute. Good thing I broke 6 hrs.. run time was 2:24, keep in mind that I run a 1:37 half marathon on fresh legs. St. George, I will not return for a good number of years. Next year 2014, I'll be at O-side 70.3, and I WILL break 5:30!
Surf City 2013 Half Marathon - My fellow shipmate + running mate. Got smoked by him in the last 2.5 miles of race. Came in 1:33, 4 minutes faster than me. After the race, a dozen of IPAs were waiting for us. Nothing beats a few good beers at the finish line!
