On October 4th two buddies and I went all the way to Virginia to swim 750 meters, bike 20 kilometers, and run 5 kilometers as fast as we could, in fact we paid to do so :-) We had amazing weather and a ton of fun! Andrea and Eli stayed at home because family was in town and we thought it could get complicated with a 6 week old.
Me, Jeremy, and Walter pre-race.
My times were very similar to the White Lake Tri, in fact they were a tiny bit faster!! I was very happy with them because I had not trained much at all, especially the last 7 weeks or so, for some reason. My bike time is faster but the two courses really can't be compared. White Lake was FLAT and 15 miles, Giant Acorn was rolling hills and only 12.4 miles.
Swim - 22:11 - Transition 2:36 - Bike - 40:02 - Transition - 1:30 - Run - 26:40
Total Time - 1:32:57
(White Lake Times 22:52 - 3:05 - 45:00 - 1:46 - 26:57 - 1:39:27)
A compilation of pictures from the race. Just like over priced
pictures from a roller coaster, you can buy it if
you want to... I can give you the link.
On the home stretch.
One of the best parts of the a triathlon is refueling after the race. They had quite the spread at the Giant Acorn. Of course they had the kiddie swimming pools full of PowerAde, water, and soda, but there was also an awesome table of goodness and a huge vat of Brunswick Stew!
Part of the post race spread!! Oranges, Bananas, Oreo's,
Mike and Ike's, Chex Mix, and Vanilla Wafers!!
Look at the size of the Brunswick Stew pot!!! I think the
guy on the left is about to fan the flames :-)
