Columbus Olympic Distance Triathlon : Official Thread

i don't fish but i have a canoe i might bring and my kids like to fish.

i will set up a BT base camp near the playground at the North end of the beach - the opposite end from transition. 

Why so far. - the bathroom here is more often available. Parking is less congested.  I use the multiple .25 mile trips to transition as a way to warm up.

I have a silver kia spectre.  i plan to arrive 5:30.

I'm in, see everyone early Sunday. I am sure I will show up before 5:30. Driving a blue Chevrolet Silverado with a orange kayak in back.

No need for a warm up for me Brue. The swim alone will warm me up and almost kill me.

Orange Nissan Murano-- 5:30.  I'll be the one in the black xterra wetsuit!!!    More specifically, red tri top, black shorts.  I will not be dressed as "Robin" this time. 

Don't take it personally if I don't recognize any of you.  I'm not so good at the facial recognition game.

--except you, Brue.  Somehow I always run into you!!!

Blue cooler!?!?!?!

PS. That was my race! I am jealous! though I am pulling slowly to bike and run, I cannot swim until my stitches removed. Or maybe I can, but the doctor says no.

Good luck to you all, and tailwind throughout all route!

What a great time!  New friends, almost a HUGE car accident next to me on 36/37, hardware...  Phew.  Time for a nap!

Have a restful afternoon, everybody!

I am really really tired.

I racked my bike by Robin (and her lovely new bike).

Glad to get to see Keith as well.

Brue-Thanks for helping me push a bit harder. I was ready to quite by that point in the run.

Robin-Nice to meet you and your husband and cute kids.

Keith - you looked strong enough there.  Glad I was able to encourage you .

Results are up.  Margo and Robin won their age groups!!!!!!! (Though I did not see Margo today)

-Robin, I noticed you were first AG in swim and run but 3 on the bike.  I think your Schwinn was sitting at home sending bad Karma. (Of course you were still FAST on the bike)

I am super happy with my biking improvements.  Still trying to get my run back.

Nice job everyone.

Brue- Fast everywhere like always.

Robin- I thought it looked like you where catching me on the run and you where. Nice run.

Race reports up.

GREAT RACE!! Wow, that was awesome. Super happy about my time, beat my expectations by 5 minutes! Sorry I missed you Brue-but it was good to see Robin zoom by me on the run!

Good racing guys!

Ultrafit puts on a good race.

So that was you yelling at me!  Many times it's hard for me to put 2 and 2 together...

Yeah, I've concluded I need a cycling coach.  Every race, without fail, my cycling stinks.  Still extremely excited about my finish!!!  I made a new running PR!

I also think my favorite thing about racing is analyzing the results.  (It's my inner math nerd coming out.)  Looking at the women's first place finisher, if you take out the bike, I was hanging with her!!! 

Oh well...  I'd rather live than crash and die going super fast on the bike anyway, right??? Right???

I can not believe how tired and sore I am.

I posted Race Report.

Next sprint July 17, next olympic, july 31.

I am with you Brue! I hit the wall about 30 min ago and am having a hard time staying vertical.

I guess I will see you at the July 17th sprint-then it is off to regionals in August!
