10 Triathlon Firsts at Wildflower

[MarkD]

A lot happened this weekend that is new to me in this sport - only at Wildflower!

10 - got my bag ripped apart by TSA 'cause they thought my biking shoes were "loaded"
9 - climbed 5 continuous miles on the bike.
8 - realized how much I hate chip n' tar roads - especially for 56 miles straight.
7 - camped in a backpackers one person tent - d**n they are small.
6 - was reduced to walking several times on brutal climbs.
5 - went over 5 hours in a 70.3 race
4 - watched Reddy race while injured.
3 - realized I will never be a great biker - not skinny enough
3 - peed while riding the bike
2 - brewed coffee in an omlett pan
1 - bonged a beer while racing (mile 8 of the run)

I love this sport!

Does indeed sound like a great weekend! I think a cozy 1 person backcountry tent is much nicer than being by yourself in a big ass family tent....with no family.

Perhaps you could include a demo of #3 and #1 at one of our clinics this year? I need some practice :-0

Racing in those mountains must be a fine way to cap off such a busy month of April. Very well done!
