| West YMCA Tri 2008 |
It was an adventurous weekend for me. Saturday morning I participated in the annual Jingle Bell race downtown. It was a really well run race and was in a fantastic location. The best part was running down both sides of the recently redone river corridor, while the crew teams were rowing in the middle. It was absolutely picture perfect.
The first mile of the race I took out way to fast, but it was a lot of fun racing that way. The last part of it was a bear, but I was able to finish with a 6:30 mile average. Not too shabby.
The next day was the Sunday indoor tri at the West Wichita YMCA. It was a ton of fun. The best part was being in the lane with my buddy Randy Phelps. We both put down pretty accurate swim times, because we were neck and neck the whole time. He would constantly pull away from me during the swim, but I would catch up to him off the wall. Once he gets that kick from the wall thing down, he’s going to be a rocket.
The transition to the indoor bikes went well. I maintained a little over a 20 mph average and was able to finish the six miles relatively quickly. It took a lot of effort, but I surived. With the fried legs, I made it to the run course pretty quickly. The first mile of the run took a while, but the second one was a little quicker. It was a lot of fun with the cheering section of the local tri club athletes!
I finished second in my heat, and second in my age group. It was great time and I’m looking forward to the next one about a month away. I was also able to get in some home improvement projects this weekend. I’ll post some more info about those soon.
