So I competed in a duathlon this weekend, one of the many races with less than ideal weather conditions (<40F, misting rain, and 20mph+ winds). Even with these conditions the race went pretty well, and I can see where I have improved from last year. I normally type up a big long RR here, but I'll just post a link to a RR on the site that I do my training logs. Here's hoping the link works!

I also posted this in the tri forum, but if most are like me, I rarely go through all the areas, so sorry for the double post!

Ok, pics are now up here http://www.brightroom.com/view_user_event.asp?EVENTID=17974&ID=34043596&FROM=photos&BIB=1439 Some are good, some my legs just look huge or I have a horrible expression on my face, and I didn't realize I had that much hair!

It looks COLD! The look on your face in the bike shots definitely says less than ideal conditions. ;)

Congratulations on your great finish, AND improvement from last year! :D

Is that you in the Avatar? Looks like you have a quarter horse! I used to ride horses and sure do miss it. Congrats on your race too!!!

Colby - I agree that my face probably tells the story of the weather - the ones on the bike aren't helped by the photographer being at the top of a hill! (that first photo you put there is one of my favorites also).

Mukluk - that is me in the avatar - on my old horse, that I unfortunately had to sell. He's still my baby, though!
