RI 70.3

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 07:29:38 -0700

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.

The happiest moments are not during the race, but Friday morning and then this afternoon, after I'd finished. Somehow these are the only moments that feel real to me, the rest of it lost in the self-protective instinct that knows if you remember how much it hurts you'll never do it again.

I walked into the lake after the race, taking the swimsuit straps off my shoulders so it looks strapless. I'm in deep enough that if it slips down it won't matter, there is cold water kissing my skin and it feels so good.

Good Evening, Boston

Sat, 15 Dec 2007 04:05:05 -0800

800m freestyle, almost flawless.

Son screwed up my lap cards. He didn't put the first one in and then when he did it was on the 63. I had told him before the race, if you mess these up I am not speaking to you all weekend. And when the next number was 65, I thought when I am done this race, I am going to drown you.

Anger took me through the first 200 meters. This was not how I had visualized it, sitting on the deck yesterday and counting my way through them. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, ORANGE.

The swim

I cut my hand deeply on tues before the race so had to keep it dry until race day. I devised a bandage for the race but it mostly fell apart by the halfway point. My biggest fear was striking another swimmer on the palm and opening it up again.

The choice I made was to lay back on the scrum that is the Ironman mass start and try to swim away from the dense inside lane. This would mean a slower split but loosing more blood into the Pacific was not going to help my bike or run.
