Steelman Tri: Whose in? (Page 3)

stilgarnaib - 2010-08-07 9:35 AM 2nd sprint - 2nd post.  I am a lurker.  Mostly out of shyness as there are some really talented athletes that post and what do I have to offer?  So I lurk and learn.  Hey Gearboy!  Not sure if you spearfish or not, but check out the haul. 

stilgarnaib - 2010-08-07 7:45 PM Yes it was a flounder.  11.5 lbs.  Speared in 85' of water about 6 mi outside of little egg inlet. 

Back on topic - So what is the little number for?  My helmet I presume?  There's no instructions in the packet and I don't feel like thumbing through the 80 page athletes "note".  Plus the weber is fired up and chicken and potatoes are on.

Thanks.

gearboy - 2010-08-08 1:44 PM I got my overall prediction for the time right.  Of course, that was because I was ahead 9 minutes in the swim, then another 5 on the bike.  Lost it all on the run.  But I realized it was my first oly in 16 years!

I thought the runnning course was supposed to be flat. Those hills   bumps took me complete by surptise.

gearboy - 2010-08-08 2:46 PM

Seriously.  Those were not hills.  I remember last year walking the course with mrs gearboy, pointing out where I thought I might end up walking, and she laughed at me.  Now, for hills, I totally don't remember that hill on the left hand side of the bike course.  I'm sure you know which one I mean.  The one that sits and mocks you when you see it coming.

Hills!!! I insist! I hate being defeated by bumps. Hills are a different story.
As for the real hill - do you mean the one right after the turn-around?

How was everybody's race???

jsnowash - 2010-08-09 5:36 AM p.s. did anyone else think the bike course was short (for the Olympic)? I had 22 miles and change on my computer....

I did well -I didn't set any expectations as it was just my second and I hate hills!  Calves cramped at the end of bike so I couldn't run as much as I wanted to but I've forgiven myself.  I checked out the bike entrance on Sat but didn't see anyone standing around.  I think next year we should try writing BT on our calves --I noticed a bunch of calves passing me while I was walking ;(   I thought Dale set everything up well and the volunteers were especially nice and helpful.  The zipper on my sweatshirt doesn't want to work but oh well.
