I had an enjoyable morning even though I didn't train too hard for the event. I was happy with my swim and even passed a few people. The bike was the bike. I'm not really a biker right now. I need a better bike if I want to be competitive. The run is my specialty and I'm alright with my time in that portion of the race. I'd like to have been a little faster, but after a swim and bike, I'll take it. My goal was 1:40 with a supergoal of 1:30, so I beat both of 'em.

The race was better organized than the Madcity Marathon, but Madison had a better course for the run. Here, we ran in front of people's houses in New Territory. I saw one guy grabbing his newpaper from the driveway. Fortunately, he'd take the time to put on some pants.

Some photos from the event later. Now, a stock photo will do.

Now, it's time for a trip to the sushi bar as a post-race meal.
