Well this weekend was the Triathlon for the Iowa Games. Over 400 plus triathletes and some nice weather.
Things went well for me for the most part a 17Th place finish in my age group with a 1:25 time. My times are improving.
Brian Benson and my wife Dawn both took a shot at their first triathlon. Both found there first open water event swim to be a real challenge. But besides that they both finished. Brian finished 16Th in his age group at 1:20 and Dawn finished around 20Th in her age group with 1:54.
The training continues for the Twin Lake Triathlon Aug. 11Th doing that one as a team to help maybe get a new friend involved in the triathlon lifestyle. Then we will be going to the Big Creek Olympic Triathlon on Sunday.
What a day! First real technical xc race this year. Felt great but after one good wipe out and a seat post that kept letting the seat slip up I only finished one 7 mile lap of a two lap race.
Course was really fun and fast when you were not climbing hills. Time to get a Thompson seat post for the next race.
Thanks to all the folks at Single Track Promotions for a great event.
