j-hawk...

tri #1 is in the books. the race was absolutely too short. everytime i got into a rythm, it was time to switch disciplines. the 30 mph winds made the bike really fun (although there was a nice tailwind the last 4 miles). on the run i started burping up the gel i ate prerace. stupid gel. my stomach was knotted something fierce (i almost had to walk) and i ended up with a bummer 5k split (22:00!!)...that wasn't even jv in highschool. oh well, an hour race is really not going to be my strong suit considering that i'm training for a 5.5 hr race. anyway, 8th place overall and 1st place in the age group...not too shabby for a firstimer.

danielson pulled off a huge day in the mountains yesterday...nice work. if anyone is the future of american cycling, danielson is it. but don't count landis out either...

i wonder how pat did in the trailmix 50km? just another 31 miles of running...no big whoop.
