Race day came and went. Nice course. Chip seal wasn't bad. Swam in my own lane in a second of two waves, then biked basically all alone, then ran basically alone, too. 6am start was EARLY but ok; would have been really hot otherwise. Only 20 people in the olympic distance, 120 or so in the sprint distance.
Completed the olympic distance in 2:25:XX. Kind of slow but a nice race.
This was the inaugural Olympic Distance race for Pocatello. Lance and crew did a GREAT job with it. Very informal, with a kind of show-n-go feel to it.
Details in a few days.
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.
