Background: First tri in Aug, 2007 - 3:02 Olympic Second tri in Sept - 1:23 Spint 2008:    First marathon - 3:32   Olympic dist - 2:42, 2:30, 2:33   Over the last 6 months, I've averaged 6.4 hours/wk training.  45 miles/wk on the bike, 22 miles/wk running, and 1200 meters/wk swimming.   

(long post - fair warning) "DFL is still finishing!" That was running through my head during most of the bike and the run. For background: After weighing in at 315lbs I'm now down to 283lbs thanks to training. I'm 6'8" and figure 235 is a good target... still a Clyde. This would be my first tri. I had three goals for this sprint: 1. Finish. www.theorangedog.net skills>> spirits>> speed>>

Here is a link to my blog about my race on saturday. (Warning) Somewhat long winded http://iamtri.com/profiles/blog/show?id=1984656%3ABlogPost%3A45067

Tiger 1/4 iron Triathlon - .6 swim, 28 mile bike, 6.55 mile run Colville Washington July 19, 2008 82 degrees, breezy

This was my first race of the season, and for this race I wasn't able to get in the pool or on the bike much. I was pretty much limited to thirty minute runs about 4 days a week. I probably got in the pool once or twice, but I rode on my bike twice before this race. To say the least, I was impressed by my performance. I was only three seconds longer then my time last year.

Well, I see nobody has posted anything on this race, so I'll go ahead- Battle At Midway is held at the Olympic cross country ski venue Soldier Hollow, in Midway, Utah. It was my first Olympic, and it was just a fantastic race. The whole olympic feel, with names and times scrolling on the big electric board and Dave Warden of Tri-Talk doing play by play from the tower was very cool.

First of all, sorry for another Cache Valley race report. I know that many of you have heard much about this race in other threads, but I figured I'd do a proper race report and tell my whole side of the story. "The melting point of wax means nothing to me": Thrice My Blog

Lucy (the girlfriend) just completed the Danskin Women's Triathlon at Disneyland California Adventure in California. The water was really gross, but the race was fairly well organized, and she had a great time. It was a beautiful day for a race. Not too cold, but overcast. Water temp was reported ~78º. Declared wetsuit legal, but hardly anybody was wearing one.
