Comments: Number 3 within Clydesdales Started a little fast, slowed down on way back What would you do differently?: Nothing...  Transition 1
Comments: Time included run up the hill It took me 90 sec or so to get the cleats in What would you do differently?: Leave bike in really small gear if bike course starts uphill  Bike
Comments: Position 7 in Clydesdales Not sure how much I lost with the cleats in the beginning, otherwise could not have pushed much harder Transition 2
Comments: Ran up the hill out of transition  Run
Comments: Position 7 in Clydesdales Could not pushed harder Saw this guy in front of me who I was pretty sure was a Clydesdale as well, tried to catch up over more than 3 miles but just couldn't What would you do differently?: Same as in prior races.... Post race
Warm down: Walked around getting water and food Has a short massage in the AATC tent Event comments: Turned out to be number 5 out of 22 Clydesdales under 40... The run is REALLY tough, and of course that is my worst discipline. But I will come back! Last updated: 2008-05-13 12:00 AM

Veteran 148 | Subject: RE: Ann Arbor Triathlon I am "legally fat" alright (I may say that..;-), but if my weight keeps coming down like the last few weeks and months I will have lost that status by the Steelhead ...yeah!!! That will hopefully help me on those runs! So far, every race I did this season was on trails, and Clydesdales are just not made for hills. Show me a piece of flat road: I will pick up momentum and then just keep rolling;-) BTW, sorry about the "infamous", you seemed to be somewhat worked up over that, so I looked it up... I have two excuses: 1. Sunday morning was just awful, having forgotten my photo ID, racing back home and getting in at 7.25am... had I not been in the Clydesdale wave, I would have not made it 2. As a non-native speaker I actually thought "infamous" to have a more positive connotation, with a portion of admiration... must have been wrong, sorry! |

Thought it was humorous. After you hang out with me a little longer you'll learn that I don't embarrass or feel offended much. It's all good. I was laughing because you looked afraid.... |

Had a small bowl of cereal around 5.30, plus one ClifBar
Was on site by 6.30am, and then realized that I had no ID... decided to give it a try to go back home and get it, was back at 7.25, end of registration was 7.30... bad start!
As I was in the 4th wave, my late arrival was actually more or less okay
