Aaron Davidson's Group -- Closed. (Page 54)

Just revisiting that last race by Rene and some other races by everyone else, I gotta say there are some FAST people on this team!

I know the definition of fast is always up for grabs, but anyway you slice it, a podium finish is always fast, and some of the swim, bike and run splits I see in these race reports amaze me.  Keep trucking everyone.

57cm... PERFECTO!!!  Plus, the bike shop that is tuning it up said they'd give me a full bike fitting! 

AWESOME deal Bill.  Pictures when you have it home.  I have bike envy already!

That is great news Bill! Just how all bike shopping should be - perfect size, little hassle, cheaper than you thought...Now - send some of that mojo this way!

Both Bob and Rene are going to have exciting weekends...best of luck to you both!

Two halfs coming up this weekend for Bob and Rene.  You guys are ready and have really done the training.  Kill it guys. 

Bob, finish strong so you know you're ready for that IM!

Rene, we expect no less than another podium!!!  That bike course looks fast, so rock it.

Bob & Rene,
It's a good thing you guys aren't racing in the same race, because they don't make podiums with 2 first place spots...

GO ROCK THE HOUSE!!!

OK....If you haven't read BillSorgs entry for Tuesday, you must...it is hilarious!!  ...LOL

Bill, hope you are getting some sleep!  ;-)

WahooOOOO!!! I am getting pumped!!! 

Thanks everyone!! 

We had another mouse incident last night, but fortunately, our cat was nice enough not to bring it upstairs and put it in my daugher's sleeping bag! 

Bob and Rene,

I hope you guys have great races! from your races during the year and your training, you are ready...

READY TO ROCK THAT RACE!!!! (with a black eyed pea music beat)

get after it this weekend!

Thought I'd share some pictures from Pauls Valley's claim to fame.  Our Okie Noodling Hand Fishing Tournament.  Noodling is where you fish for flathead catfish using your hands as bait.  You stick your hands or feet into a hole wait for the catfish to bite you then grab ahold.  Crazy!  My wife is one of the directors and I get to DJ the event.  It's some great people watching.  Rednecks from all over converge on our small town and double it's population for the day.  I heard someone say it is the Superbowl for rednecks.

That is so stinking funny!  I love it.  America at its best!!

Holy cow! Those are some seriously large catfish. I'm surprised more people don't get injured. Wow!

That's a great race report Aaron.  Lot's of truisms in there.

Those are crazy catfish Ray.  Up here a 5 pounder is big!  I love redneck America.  Down home good people, and most of my family would fit right in.  Must be fun to DJ something like that.

I drove the route for my half.  It's a LOT of turns, many over 90 degrees, so I hope they have plenty of volunteers or I'll get lost!  And there are 2 left turns across what was a very busy state highway, so hopefully they'll have traffic control there.  A lot of the ride is on very nice back roads, no lines even, so hopefully not too many racers and not too many cars.  Great course in general, beautiful area.  I actually took the numbers of some houses for sale.  It's also nowhere near as hilly as anything I train on, so staying aero for as much of the 3 hours as possible will be the goal.

Oh yeah, KILL THOSE RACES BOB AND RENE!!!

Holy cow...I'd hesitate to stick my hand in one of those catfish mouths...geeze.

Awesome mouse story. Kids are great sleepover-er's...they rarely sleep.

race number 313 so follow along if you're not too bored. Should be a long day. A little rain forecasted which should help me since I love rain running.

Thanks for all the support and well wishes...I know it's been said before but this mentor group Rocks!

Bob's out of the water in 39:03, with a 4:56 T1.  Go tear up that bike course.  Calgary bike is a little long (58 miles).

No word on Rene.  It's a smaller race so they may not have athlete tracking.

Bob's into his run, bike was 3:07 and his first run split came in at 56:32, holy cow is moving on that run!!  GO BOB GO!!

I couldn't find anything on Rene's race either, but I'm sure he truckin' too!!  GO RENE GO!!

Bob is finished at 5:51:19, he absolutely killed the run with a smokin' pace of 8:53!!!  Spectacular race, can't wait to hear how it was!!

If I 'm reading the results correctly, Rene finished in 5:25:11!  Nice speed.

The splits were:
Swim:  39:00
T1:      1:58
Bike:   2:42: 55
T2:      1:03
Run:    2:00:15

Those transitions are stupid fast (not to mention the rest if it).

Way to crank guys, awesome races.

Both Rene and Bob: Fantastic job! You guys did so well. I hope you enjoyed every minute of it! Looking forward to race reports.

Lots of sub 6:00 HIM's being thrown down by this group.  Nice job, and congratulations.

congrats to Bob and Rene for some SICK times!!!!!!!!! damn - you guys are killin' it in this group! I'm privi to be in such company of fine athletes with all the killer times EVERYONE has put down on the courses.

GREAT JOB  again Bob and Rene!

Thanks guys!!  I wanted to do a report but just haven't yet.
One thing running through my head on the run was, "Ironman CDA 2011??? What the hell was I thinking!???"  LOL!!!
Everything was great up until the run, it was PAINFUL!!  Will write more later!

Great job Bob!!!
