Napier Realtors Richmond Sprint - TriathlonSprint

Matthew (12) did the swim. He was awesome. He caught the athlete ahead of him in the first 50m. In all he passed for swimmers.

Nothing. Matthew actually beat my time from last year (i had a cold).

Matthee ran in to T1 and I took his chip and put it on jordan's leg for the bike leg.

Evrything went smooth. There is a long run from the pool into the TA and then we were on the far side of the TA. We had a faster T1 then the winning relay team.

THis was Jordan's best ride ever. 12-13 mile practice rides he only average 14.5mph. He did a great job especially considering the long hill on Winterfield.

Jordan came in off the bike and I took the chip and put it on my leg. Had to get Jordan to rack his bike before I could leave.We had the 4th best T2 of 22 relay teams. It helped that we were very close to the Bike In entrance and I sprinted through the TA to the Run Outexit.

Nothing. We smoked it.

I felt sluggish but it was nice having fresh legs. I think my cold was affecting me somewhat because conditions were great and I should have been closer to 24 minutes. I passed alot of people and no one passed me at all.

Not get sick. Glad I didn't have to do the whole thing.

Congratulated my team on a good race, their first. Then we went over to the RTC tent. Donna, Dee and crew are amazing. They had a spread like you wouldn't believe.Everything an athlete needs to recover. The brats were the best part. Thanks Richmond Tri Club!


This is a great end of season race. Since I had already done it twice before I decided to do it as a relay with 2 of my boys, Jordan (15) and Matthew (12). It was great and the weather was perfect.
