Subject: RE: Over The Mountain TriathlonWow. That was tough. I was not expecting that bike, even though I drove it Friday night. Single digit climbs...and something in my drivetrain started going POP POP POP with every climbing pedal stroke at mile 18. But I finished my first OLY with a smile on my face. No I didn't meet my time goal, but since I nursed the bike back in (trying to avoid the POP POP POP), then had huge cramping issues on the run, I'm okay with that. Hat's off to Kings Mountain for really making this a special race. Every volunteer I saw had a smile on their face, and I tried to speak with every one I came in contact with. My favorite race I've ever done, no doubt. Challenging, but hope to do it again. |
