Race results

Well, I completed the race on Sunday down in Ruston. It was a good race, nice fast course and a variety of good racers. Erik and Beau destroyed the field and took first and second by minutes. I did ok, had a difficult time in the water, a pretty good bike, and a terrible run. But it is all good. I believe I went a shade over 1:10:00 so that isn't so bad. I would say this course was comparable to CATS so a 1:10:00 isn't so bad for not having been seriously training. And as Erik says it'll "light a fire under me." And it sort of has.. I've come up with a workout scedule and plan to join the master's swim group here in town next week. Actually might run over there tomorrow and see about swimming a little.

I'd post the splits but the website posting is all messed up. Actually I just checked and they seem to be in good working order now. Earlier it said Erik averaged 40+ mph on the bike.. and I know he is fast, but DAMN.

ok, here they are:
9:29 - swim
34:59 - bike
26:28 - run

the swim was a 500 yard swim, so way to slow in that category. The bike was 13.5 miles, so I'm happy with that, would have really prefered to be around 31 or 32, but I'll live. And the run was a 3.2 mile loop which I should have done in under 20.. or I should say would've liked to have done. But this is definetely going to get me back in the pool and running. Which is what I really need to do to get better.

Ok, I'm outta here.. going to TT up with The Ride guys tonight. Rode with some girls from the Ford/Landis pro team on tuesday, damn they are fast. I wish I only had to ride my bike for a living.. that would be so nice.

ok, I'm out.
