Subject: RE: 9.4.11 Sunday FundaySprint duathlon this morning. Jumped in at the last minute as I had planned to spend the day with my dad and his SO, and saw this event was 10 minutes from his house. It was great having them show up to see me race. I was out on the bike and saw him before he saw me, yelled DAD and boy did he jump! Time was OK, had hoped to do a little better. 4 miles of running and 10 miles slightly hilly bike. Time 1:02:55. 35/178 overall, 6/13 AG. Bike was decent, second run was a bit slow. Lots of mileage this past week for an upcoming marathon caught up with me. Afterwards there was a lot of mingling and they could not believe how friendly triathletes are. Everyone who walked past us stopped and said hi, 'good race', or ask if I had fun. I told him that's pretty normal, that people were high fiving each other as they finished and came back into the transition area. Then I cleaned up and we went to brunch. Pretty much as good as it gets! |
