Good job Mitch. We have had bad conditions to run in and you still turned in a good run.

Congratulations Mitch! Looks like a great time for many of us here.

Matthew - the bridge is deceptively flat. The whole city is actually quite hilly, I like this!

Gabe - you are so fortunate to be able to enjoy the most scenic places on this planet with your business now!

Congrats Mitch.  Will await to hear more details about it.

Just under 3 hours on the drainer followed by about 50 minute brick run.  Trainer and run were slower than I was hoping for. I've been pretty tired lately and due to other things in life not sleeping good. I know its not over training type of thing right now as I experienced that last year.

Anyways...question about bike training. The weather is starting to get better here and it is now light enough in the morning and evenings so that I could start commuting by bike again. Its about 8.5-9 miles each way. Given training going on right now should I just continue riding the bus to work or continue to do my regular bike workouts and then just ride easy back and forth to work?  I don't really have time to extend rides before or after work however. thoughts ideas? Would it be ok to do?

Good job Mitch, still a pretty good time!

Chris, best of luck on running the Boston Marathon on Monday and make sure to enjoy it to the fullest, it is well deserved!

Came in first in my age group at my first tri, 53rd female and 310 overall!!!

Uploaded race report

Jumping on the "TODAY IS MY FIRST TRI" day, I'll type up a race report soon. Did the Carmel Sprint Tri in Indianapolis area... weather was fantastic. Since i'm a competitor I hate how slow I went, but I really focused on just staying cool and getting the first one under the belt before going competely balls-to-the-wall.

Ended 152 of like 450 or 500, upper MOP. Swim was 400m and slow as molasses, but I wasn't trying to go fast, just stay cool and not freak out with other people touching or kicking me. Bike was pretty great (got the shifter fixed pre-race so it was all good to go), made a ton of ground, averaged about 20.5mph. Run was awful, cramped going into T2 and first mile was pretty bad but I picked up negative splits the rest of the time. 

Excited to have finished, regardless of results I had a blast and i've definitely got the bug. Will updated when RR is done.

Now you sound like a woman!  Everyone is thinner than me, OMG.  So, what are you wearing for the race?

Way to go Tay!

I'm sorry, I can't remember your name.  Way to go Penguin.  Anytime you can do your first tri and finish, it's a success.  To finish above MOP is gravy!  Congratulations.

Guilty of the awkward username club, haha, I'm Jordan. But thanks! RR is up. Best thing about today is the motivation to fix what went wrong next time around. Feels great to get the first out of the way.
