20-60-40 Triathlon

I'm a family guy who is addicted to swim/bike/run and anything to do with getting out into the backcountry wilderness areas. This blog focuses on the swim, bike, run and other various aspects of my attempts to finish in the top ten percent of my age group in whatever race I do. It used to be all about finishing the legs of an Olympic Distance triathlon: swim in 20 minutes, bike in 60 minutes, and run in 40 minutes. Now, it's more about training well and finishing well.

The Rush Tri photos part 1

Finishing my best race swim yet...gettin' better every time. Don't have official split yet, but my swim + T1 was 28:11, with a very slow T1 cuz I couldn't find my bike even after practicing the entrace to the bike rack TWICE. After I left for the swim, all the sprint racers came in and filled up the racks, making it look differently.

Going into T2. Feet were frozen at this point. Chilly Idaho mornings will do that to cold, wet feet. Bike time was ok: 1:15 (including T2 of about two minutes) versus goal of 1:10.
