Congrats Mike on your time, it looks like you did pretty well.  Bummer we didn't get to swim together, as you saw, they screwed up my cap and number, heh.  So I ended up on Wave 2 instead of 3.  I was going to say high afterwards but didn't see you.

Good job Ethan too.

I'm pretty happy with how I did, however, my T1 was crappy which surprised me though.  A little under 3 minutes, I need to shave that down to under 2 minutes.  Compared to Bostwick Lake Tri, I think I improved all of my times.  This time I swam the whole way front crawl without stopping even after getting kicked in the head a couple of times.  Also averaged a little over 20 mph with my CRAPPY bike, which was pretty good.

I'm doing Reed's Lake too, so hopefully see you guys there.

Congrats to everyone who was at Millennium yesterday.  I was bib 291.  Placed 81st overall and 7th in my age group (45-49m).  Mike - were you in the complete BT uni?  If so, I said "BTer" as you passed me on the run and respectfully used you for my pace - i just tried to keep you within sight  This really is a great event for our city.

WOT - 2010-08-08 11:32 AM Congrats to everyone who was at Millennium yesterday.  I was bib 291.  Placed 81st overall and 7th in my age group (45-49m).  Mike - were you in the complete BT uni?  If so, I said "BTer" as you passed me on the run and respectfully used you for my pace - i just tried to keep you within sight  This really is a great event for our city.
 


That was me, I remember hearing someone say BT-something out on the run.  By that point all I wanted to do was get the run over with.  I pushed it hard on the bike and I've never loved running...

However I do have to say that run course was awesome.  There were a couple roller hills and one big one (seemed big at the time I was running up it) but otherwise it was beautiful to run around the lake/pond....

I agree it's a great event for the city, I plan to do it every year as a charter member.  I did it two years ago and was registered last year when the weather didn't cooperate.  I think as this event gets more known it will begin to be one you have to register early for or could miss.  I think 800 was their stated max although 593 appears to be the total finishers.

My 13 year-old did the kids' tri and had a blast too.  It was cool to see all the parents/adults that obviously raced earlier hanging around watching the kids do their event.  Certainly helps get the sport started with the young ones when they can share it with their parents & family.

Great day!

Good job all. I did see someone in a BT'er suit and another with a tattoo, but I didn't have a chance to say hi.

Looks like I've talked myself into Reeds Lake. See you there. I'll be at the back of the pack.

I signed up for Reed's Lake yesterday.  Hey it's better to be at the back of the pack, then not part of the pack at all Laughing

I'm sure this tri will test me pretty good as well, as this is my first year of tri's and the longest by far.

Anyone have an interest in a bike ride this Sunday a.m.? I'm thinking 1.5 to 2 hours.

Post or PM me.
