Philly Tri Official Thread (Page 5)

That is cool.  post it?

You realize this is really going out on a limb, and the rest of the pictures are the usual I-look-like-crap photos. But have a giggle on me, you see us heading to the finish around 17 seconds into the video.

I prescribe some track work; you gotta lengthen that stride.

Way to finish strong Brian!

Thanks. If I can't win, at least I can amuse. I didn't notice the goofball dancing around, that's really funny. My favorite picture is the one coming into T1 out of the water where you can clearly see my bellybutton through the trisuit.

Class, all class, that's my mantra. Now pull my finger.

Hey, btw, thanks for the info before the race.  I managed to get a reasonable preview of the course by starting Friday at 6am and taking your suggestions into consideration.  Philly was only my 2nd Tri, and I'm still on a post-race high for beating my goal by over 12 minutes.  My swim & bike were the best I could have imagined.  My transitions weren't bad considering how much ground we had to cover in T1 & T2.  And I survived the run by switching to a race-walk after about 1.5 miles (between the heat and my knee problems, it was the right thing to do.)  I did the fastest race-walk that I've ever done, and only was 4-5 minutes slower than I had anticipated if I managed to run most of it.

Loved the water temp!!  I'm so sorry that my first half is scheduled to be in icy cold Old Orchard Beach this August.  Next season, I stick to warm water races. 

Speaking of next season, hope to give Philly another Tri.

Everyone ready? I'm just going to suffer through, I have been overwhelmed at work the last two weeks and have not done much. Although if the water flow stays this high, I won't need to swim, I can just float downstream. 

Turned into an awesome weekend for racing. Hope you all had fun. I was handed a cold beer as soon as I came out of the finish chute.
