The morning started off with Holly and I heading over to Elm Creek to volunteer (Holly) and participate (me) in the Pole Pedal Pant Winter Triathlon. The weather was perfect. Any warmer and the course would have been mashed potatoes. Here are the results. I had the 8th fastest ski, the 5th fastest bike and the 4th fastest run netting me 4th place overall. I was pretty happy with my performance. The entire event was run well and I'm guessing will only grow at the new metro venue. Nice work Amy and volunteers. The only bummer of the event was Neil was forced to give back the megaphone.
After lunch and a family nap Holly and Lilly went to a movie and I headed out for a group ride in the 50+ degree weather. It was a great day to be out with some great guys but unfortunately I was pretty shot from the morning and kind of rode in my own little world. At one point towards the end of the ride I was bonking pretty bad and really wet and cold and Russ had a flat tire. I had say, "Goodbye," and keep riding as I was loosing heat really quickly. Thanks guys for great ride and sorry I wasn't a great riding partner that day.
Holly and Lilly got home shortly after I did and we all went down to Amy's for an after race party. Mike and Amy are great hosts - we always have a good time with them.
