Training went really well for my Half Marathon A race this Spring. Then the day before stomach flu hit. No sleep, or food, or really water but managed a PB by 2 minutes on the same course for 8th overall, 2ns AG and a 1:21. I feel like crap right now.

3/4 mile swim
16 mile bike
5 mile run
21/25: position in age group
4: DNFs in age group
2/10: position among Clydesdales
3: free Sierra Nevadas consumed, or 4
2: Mexican food meals following the race
Maintaining Clydesdale eligibility through the above: priceless
Oh and the neckless sonuvabitch that beat me by 14 minutes is on a team coached by Bill Cosby I think.

Hitting the high points of this one:
Swam an extra 100m in the pool because I lost track and the guy counting lost track
Crashed my bike with 8 k to go.. Lotsa road rash that stung but was able to finish the race. Was looking for a big improvement at this one and ended up only 6 minutes slower that last year. Now I need a beer and some Advil
Leg 10 of the Cabot Trail Relay. MacKenzie Mountain
Of course, during the race the leg doesn't start until 9:30 PM so it's pitch black and doesn't look as good. It was pretty surreal running up the mountain and hearing the sounds of coyote and moose in the background. Their sounds were drowned out by the sound of my heavy breathing and lung butter snarls.
The time cutoff for each leg is 6:00/km. I came in at 1:26:00 for the 14.7km, or 5:50/km. I was pretty nervous after having a few KM over 7:00 on the steeper parts but managed to get my shit together and get a finishing time.

Either booze, or the way they put down a horse. Both would have worked.
Seriously though, @G Scott Layher beat me like a drum on a terribly hard course over 3 days and 4 races. Happy to have met and talked with @tjdickey and @Paul Glatzhofer from the team. Kudos to TJ and Paul for tackling the extreme Triple T beast! Also met Kyle from the squad during the Sunday race bike leg. Mucho fast on his bike, and he still took time to say hi as he went by! Cool. Very fun weekend.

Quick little 5k yesterday. Ended up 2nd AG and no idea what my overall was. I'm the one in the photo with a penis.
I also built part of a fence this weekend, which I am more proud of and was more of an endurance event, because I had to dig out two posts,
and I am now drinking wine, so I win at life for now.
