[Hat tip: Tom Myers, the guy I'm dating, whom I dragged to the race.]

Apologies that I don't have photos of RK, TomK, Austin's friend Rick, Mary Alice and Jeff Bruce, or Robin. Click on any image for a larger version. My favorite are the three in which we are chasing the police car at the start! (They're at the bottom - out of order, sorry, these already took me like two hours to do and I'm not sorting them :P)

Sunday River Resort
Sunday River Mountain
Newry, ME 04261

The Mountain Epic Sunday River is a unique trail running experience. Scramble to the summit of the mountain and back down - on trails, over rocks and through awesome forests. Compete as an individual or as a team. Finish at the South Ridge Lodge, in the middle of a huge party!

Cost of Entry:
• Relay Team $60

Overall Rhode island ironman/2 gets a thumbs up!

The course starts with an ocean swim at the southern tip of the state followed by a partly coastal then turning hilly, country, middle bike course. The last miles leading into Providence were on very poor inner city roads with many turns and potholes steet debris etc. The run was hot ~86, humid ~85 and mostly unshaded. And there were two very steep hills an each loop to slow you both up and down (too steep to coast). The run conditions called for cooling measures, ice , sponges, douse with water etc. which slowed my (everyone's) run time some. I was able to pick it up the last couple miles to finish under 5 hours, my #1 goal for the day.

Belgrade Lakes Triathlon

A good day a good race.

We arrived fri evening for check in with a hailstorm leaving 1in deep pea and marble ice everywhere. The hail tore a lot of leaves on to the roadway and muddied up the trails thru camp there.

Next morning the hail had melted but the lake surface temp had dropped, someone said 4-5 degrees, thanks for tri wetsuits. The swim was Ok for me. Some lessons are quickly forgotten in this case frequent sighting in open water races. For the muggles (non tri folk) out there, sighting is when you look up between breaths to stay on course for the next marker buoy on the swim course. In the pool there's lane lines and the bottom to keep you straight. In open water, bigger races allow for checking position with those around you if you're a middle of the pack swimmer like me. This race had about 200 entrants in the water so you have to look up. Something to practice.
