Caught On Film

The DC Tri I did recently was really a world-class event.  They actually produce individual DVDs for those interested.  Take a look here for some low-resolution footage of my race.  Just scroll down the page a little and click on swim (to see my struggle with my wetsuit), bike, or run to see that portion.  Below are a few screen captures from those videos.

Halfway There

With June in the books, I wanted to give a quick run-down of my totals for the month.  I’m hoping to keep up my training with long rides and by increasing my weekly runs from 5 to 6 miles (along with being diligent about long runs on the weekend).  My main goal being to have a stronger running base for the end of my races and maintaining my cycling fitness.  I’m hoping to find a few sprint tris and maybe a few road races to capitalize on my current training.

Swimming – 20,030 yards (59,050 for the year)
Biking – 336 miles (1,090 miles for the year)
Running – 69 miles (408 miles for the year)

My goals remain 2,000 miles on the bike and 750 miles running.  I’m still right on track for those!

Proceed at your own risk…as the photographer was positioned perfectly enough to catch the fall of Ryan (much like Rome, only sweatier), as I reached my (s)low point on the run and was passed back by Mr. No Shirt and Mr. Calf Sleeve (who said something inaudible to me after the race, leading me to think he was trying to chase me down).

 

Finally…the finish!
