Louisiana Triathlon
What a day for racing!
Thanks to Hunter, P, Team Rome, and everyone else who cheered us on and volunteered today. It meant a lot and i needed it.
My goal was sub 2 hrs. Below is my LA Tri race 2 years ago:
2006 - Swim 25:26 pace 3:11 T1 2:59 Bike 1:12:44 pace 15.3 T2 2:20 Run55:07 pace 17:47 2:38:34
My goal time was a sub 2hrs for today.
Swim was uneventful. I had the first major skull kick today. It was a little freaky at first, but after I shook off the dizziness i was fine. I wanted to a smooth swim and for the most part that was what I had.
I have got to make better decisions on the bike! I tried to clip in at the bottom of the hill and ride out of transition, but was on my azz a few seconds later. (dummy) So I lost a little time regrouping, but once I was on the bike I was cook'n. I passed a bunch of folks and never really felt tired.
T2 was a bit slow.
I wanted to average sub 12 min miles. It wasn't to be today. I really have to get rid of this belly. That is what is keeping me back on the run. The weight I carry there really begins to hurt my back when i run too hard. SOON, that will not be a problem . . .
I crossed the finish line at about 1:56 and some change! Sub 2 hrs! I'll take it.
GREAT DAY, GREAT FUN, WITH GREAT FRIENDS.
I want to thank my best friend Brent for coming out and watching me race. he is no morning person and lives halfway between BR and NOLA so it was a long drive for him. It meant a lot to me, thanks Brent.
Next:
Going to watch my friend Caroline and Philippe race at St. Anthony' tri this coming weekend. Surgery the following week to remove gallbladder, recover, race in Memphis in may . . .

Boggs!
Awesome job. Not only in this race, but all your races this year. And the remarkable body transformation.
When I do manage to race again, I have a lot to worry about. Your bike splits will kill me! If your run catches up you will be unstoppable.
