Subject: RE: OLY Finisher under 3hoursdavidson3 - 2009-09-01 2:10 AM Yeah Me! Did the Chicago OLY yesterday. My first! Goal was under 3hrs, and after swimming way off course, stopping on the bike to check on a wipe out, and then cramping up clipping back into my clipless pedals, I came around the last turn at 2:59:35. I hit my highest gear and sprinted in to finish at 2:59:55. This sport rocks. Very cool! I started with a "just finish" mentality but then quickly upped my goal to finish in 3hrs. Let's just say that the gain rate was much faster when I started training so I think I'll be happy with 3:30 my first time out. haha Congrats! |
