Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 California : Official ThreadDestroyer - 2011-04-03 9:42 AM It's official, my next 70.3 will be the at Lake Las Vegas! 6th in my age group and 102 overall. Good enough to grab a rolldown slot! I'll get a race report written as soon as I get motivated to do anything but sit around. Great swim Chris! We'll have to meet at the water sometime so you can get me swimming like that. Congrats to everyone just for making it through the second half of that bike course! I dropped my change somewhere between mile 53 - 55 too. Luckily it's a lot easier to fix than a flat. My hand got all greasy though and I had to remind myself through out the run not to wipe my face with that hand or else end up with war paint. Thanks Doug, if you can tell me how to ride and run, I'll tell you how to swim CONGRATS on the worlds slot. I am always impressed at people that set qualifying goals and then go out and do it. I looked for you out there, but you were too fast. I also looksed at all the odwalla jerseys but none were Mike.
David - maybe some day we'll meet at a race instead of being cyberbuddies  Did hook up with Hans, Paul and Tim on the run at various points I am also glad that others had the same impression of the wind on the southbound section. I don't mind wind. I don't mind hills. But both together are tough on this clyde. The only other time I did this race it was minimal wind, even on Vandegrift. There was a time or two on the bike where I seriously thought all I'd be able to do was limp in on the bike and bag the day entirely. |
