Lifetime Fitness Report

As promised, here are some pics of the pros from Lifetime Fitness. Sorry about the quality. We weren't racked right around the pros so it was tough to get close. To the left, Greg Bennett is walking. Below, Kevin from GearWest is helping Craig Alexander inflate his rear tire.


To the left, TJ Tollackson (in red) and a couple other guys discuss either where the run exit is or where to find a Biffy. I think that's Matt Reed drinking the Red Bull on the far right.

My race report:
I know I said I wouldn't make a long post like I did for Minneman. And I won't. My bike computer died so I couldn't give you too much information even if I wanted to (see earlier post about equipment issues - HEED plus cracked face = dead computer). I did have the 2nd fastest swim in Clydes 30-39. The bike went well (the pace in the results is wrong - for some reason they figured the pace based upon a 22.3 mile ride rather than a 24.8 mile ride). I wanted to run the 10k in under an hour and I did. I took almost 14 1/2 minutes off my time from last year!

Got faster in every phase - how can you not be happy with that?
