Tri America Relay and photos...
It has been hard keeping up lately, but at least my training is consistent!
This past weekend I did a relay for the Tri-America race in Louisville, Kentucky. The race went well as we (team Pedal the Planet) placed first, but we were pushed by another team from Lexington, the 3 J's (Jen, Jay and Jim). The results of the race are here: Tri-America Relay results.
As far as my run, I was pretty happy. I rode a pretty good ride on Saturday morning (42 miles) that included climbing up Halls, Grimes, McCalls and the climb on Elk Lick road. That left my legs feeling a little heavy during the run, but I still managed to run 38:04. It helped that I was running scared for most of the race. Jim is a good runner and I didn't get my watch started, so I didn't have any idea how fast I was running. Thus, I just tried to run as well as I could.
There were a lot of Lexington triathletes at the race, but there were two pretty good stories and results. Colleen, who runs with the Tuesday / Thursday group finished first overall for females in the sprint race. And Tony White finished first overall in the international distance race.
Tony finished first, but to make it more impressive - he had the best overall swim, best overall bike and best overall run (at least it appeared that way from the results). That's impressive. As a fairly new athlete to the sport and at 21 - I call that impressive and serious potential. (Sponsors out there might take notice.)

Hey Hey. Congratulations on the strong finish -- and wonderful team name. I love it.
Thanks anne. The name of the team is actually the name of a local bike shop: Pedal The Planet
