      08/07  Baboon - Greenfield Lightlife Triathlon (1100 yard swim, 30 mile bike, 7.2 mile run)

       

      I like this race.  It plays to my advantage with the shorter swim and longer bike and run.  A traditional Olympic distance race is 1600 yard swim, 24 mile bike, 6.2 mile run.  Last year I grabbed 3rd in AG in the last 50 yards of the race.  I'd like an AG award again.  I will be in peak condition.

                I woke up with some stupid song in my head that I haven't actually heard in forever. Add to it that I don't like the damn thing and it was quite annoying!

                  As for races, I have none. There is this one mile gig that I wouldn't mind running but it's not officially timed. It's before a 5 and 10k but running either of those the first week of August will only serve to confirm that I suck, and I can affirm that without leaving my house. lol

                              Elkhorn was a DNF. Couldn' t make the cutoff time at an aid station. Still a good effort and I'm getting better on the hills.
