At the
crack of dawn Debbie, Adam, and I get ready to ride our bikes into the transition area at Sand Hallow reservoir. |
Adam
and I get ready to take a nice 1.5K swim in the lake. Like our baby blue swim caps?! |
"And they're off!" (Adam and
I are somewhere in there getting kicked and shoved!) |
Adam
kicks my butt in the swim, getting out in just 28 minutes. |
Another
picture of Adam heading for the first transition. |
During
the swim I really felt the lack of energy that was a result of the sickness I was trying to
fend off. I came in just under 30 minutes. |
Adam
clips in to his brand new Cervelo P2 Carbon bike - about 2 minutes ahead of me. |
Adam
gets dialed in on the bike course with his new Aero bottle full of Gatorade! |
Adam
sporting the nice form - notice the guy behind him blowing his nose farmer style! |
Adam
completes the bike course, and due to an injured knee, promptly hands his timing chip to the referee. |
A few minutes after Adam, I get to the bike course mounting area on my brand new
Cervelo P2 Carbon bike (not to mention our new Telarus jersey)! Whohoo! |
Getting dialed in during the first mile of the ride. I just got a new race fit for my bike
so some of the angles felt kind of funny. |
The bike went well, averaging almost 21 mph in the midst of a pretty big climb section. |
Feeling great on the new Cervelo P2C. After the ride my legs felt GREAT (unlike a few weeks
ago in Oceanside, where my back and legs were trashed after the bike!) |
I completed T2 in under 1 minute and was off to run on the red dirt! Yuck!
However, looking the bright side, my new bike really helped me conserve some
energy which I would surely need for the challenging run course. |
Here I am on Lap 1 of the loose dirt X-terra course. Again, HATED this run course! |
Ah, Lap 2 of the course. Keep going PKO! Don't give up! |
Finally, some pavement to run on! This is me coming down the final stretch en route to
a 7:52/mile run. |
The Finish is now in sight ... sprint through the final tape! |
Adam and I take a picture to thank our proud sponsor for all of the support. We couldn't
do it without Telarus' help! |
