Triathlon start training

This triathlon start video is so on point it's scary.

Texas State Tri results

Turns out I ended up 3rd in my age group, not the 5th I'd previously thought. Despite the results, actually a fairly poor showing. I've been training for flat endurance and this race was hilly and explosive. Good swim, horrible first transition, decent bike but the hills killed me, decent T2, and miserable run.

The knees are killing me but the good news is that I dropped consistently to my goal pace for the upcoming marathon. Maybe after I get the knee injected again I'll be able to make it through the run.

All the cycling pictures are up; the pool room is DONE!

Not really much to look at online, but the room looks good.

Pics from the King of Jester Hill Climb TT and 5k

Neither member of the North team provided a spectacular performance in the King of Jester bike TT or 5K. Jake led off with a 5th place in his age group and 39th overall in the half-mile slog up the 21% grade, then Darlene followed up with a scorching 39-minute 5K that took the runners over the same hill and another that was supposedly even worse.

There's always the next race...
