Races and the such..

So I raced the Ozark Valley Triathlon on Sunday.. it was the Arkansas State Championship.. I was really hoping Erik would win, but he got run down by some track star from U of A. Beau had a horrible crash on Thursday and broke his thumb as well as lost a lot of skin from all over his body, so he couldn't race. Apparently race officals don't want people racing who might crash and hurt people. So that allowed me to take my age group.. since I'm confident that Beau would have destroyed me completely and utterly. Probably would have placed in the top 5.

I had an ok swim.. I know I used to be able to swim better but I've let myself go.. I'm trying to get it back.

I had a pretty average bike. I think that I rode about 2 minutes faster than I did last year. That makes me happy.. at least I'm improving, or the TiPhoon makes life all that much easier. Need to put in a lot more time on the bike.

My run at this race was probably the best run that I've ever had. I know it wasn't all that great compared to say, Mark (the winner), who laid down some freaking fast splits especially on this hilly course. I think his splits were around 5:24 a mile.. holy crap. Mine were a solid 6:52.. the best splits I've ever had in a race before (I think) and on this course.. that makes me feel pretty good about how I've been running.

But yes.. that is the latest. I went and watched Land of the Dead the other night. Look for a review soon on Zombie Talk.

Alright, that is it for now. Just so everyone knows.. tomorrow is a group ride up at The Ride.. 6 o'clock. Everyone should come.

Later
