Hawk Island Triathlon : Official Thread (Page 7)

Where did you get the photo? Do you have a link of the race photos?

Great job Susan.  I'm not doing the Motor City Tri but will be at either the Big Fish or Kensington on 6/21 or 6/28.

All they have up are the swim photos at the moment.

Wow, that looks painful.  Funny, I don't recall hurting that much

It *looks* like perhaps your wetsuit got caught up in some armpit hairs. 
It didn't seem to slow you down much, though... great race!

What a great day we had to race! 

Congrats to all the first time Triathletes out there!!!!  I'm so glad I got to share your race day with you!  It was so great to see, cheer and be cheered by so many teamates (GO GREYHOUNDS!) and BT RAWK SQUAD folks!  Not to mention our strappers Steve, Trixie, Robyn and Jason (OMG...thanks for keeping my bike safe and sound b4 the race Jason!!!)

Thanks to Spartn1 for keeping us all so well informed leading up to yesterdays event!!!

Kristen and Kimm, thanks for bringing the tents...it was so nice to have a home base to see everyone at!  And Kimm, thanks for taking such good care of your HOUNDS!

Last but not least, MAJOR THANKS goes to my neighbor Billy!!!!  He's the BOMB!  He drives his beautiful bride to events, and I get to tag along.  He's the best chauffer/sherpa/wine boy EVAH! 

I will try and post my photo's (a hit or miss proposition!) later tonight!

Looks like I missed all the fun

That said I went back to Canada, did the Belle River and got this yesterday!



I actually don't have much bragging right since its a small race... 


Hope to see you guys in Ann Arbor Tri next week!

Awesome, way to go Elvin!

Well done, Elvin!

Nice job Elvin

Congrats Elvin!!!  Way to Rock it!

Back to Canada?  That explains why you have no problem swimming without a wetsuit!!!  CANADA! :-)

Go Elvin!

I want a plaque trophy thing!! I need to work out more!!!!!!!!

Now that there is some funny $h!t

Congratulations Susan! Great job yesterday. You were so calm and ready to start the race. Look at my training log from yesterday. Steve took a good pic of you, me and Trish. We all look so serious and deep in thought as we look out at the water, it's so funny. Hope to see you and George soon.

Thank you everyone.  Sorry for hijacking the HI thread.  Belle River "lighthoose" is a smaller and easier race compare to HI so its much easier to get a trophy.  That was the initial race bought me to the whole triathlon scene, so I have to do it  

and yes, I AM CANADIAN!
(That should explain the non-swim suit, and all the funny/stupid things I did...)

Elvin!  What if your wife reads this thread!  Non WET SUIT...You didn't skinny dip and I missed it did you??? ;-)

This is exactly what I mean by funny/stupid things!

I am changing my signature...

... What??  MTB Bike/Helmet and aero bars.  wow.

#486's helmet has the pittsburg steelers logo on it! he means business!

wow...i just looked up that guys times...considering he was on a hybrid/mtb, that guy was FLYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he averaged almost 20mph on a big, heavy, non aero mountain bike! nice! he's just about as fast as i was on my tri bike! LOL

Too funny, I just looked it up too.  He had a 30:08 bike split.  He went flying past me and I was going roughly 20 mph at the time. 

Yea, but can he swim????
(he kicked my butt on the bike too!)

no, he had a pretty weak swim. but i can't talk...i was one of the slower swimmers in my AG. lol
