Woo Hoo! What a great day! Ormond Tri-Y

Had a great race today. Im still really weak on the run I just can't push it too hard and I think Im beginning to feel similar pain in my left knee...may need to look into different shoes. I found my bike, while probably the fastest race split I've had yet, I have an endurance limiter towards the end and really started to fatigue. Considering I've done little to no anaerobic work I still felt really good.

I have one small complaint however....When the swim started the extra velcro on the timing chip came loose. Afraid to lose it I put it in my shorts. I figured so long as it was on my person I would still be timed....I was wrong. Stupid mistake. Anyway, this cost me 3rd place in my age group however when they put my time at 1:05:12 I do have a picture of me crossing at 1:04:49....6 seconds faster than 3rd place of 10 in my age group. Such is life.

The folks who put on this race at Altavista Sports also put on many other races in this area and are really dedicated to the active lifestyle. They really make events feel like a family atmosphere.

Was really a great day and Im so glad to be back to racing...even if its only the sprints. I absolutely enjoy the competition...I never thought of myself as much of a competitive person but since getting into triathlon even if Im only a MOP'er it still creates great drive..I can't do the feeling justice with words.Sean Mayhew
