Dual Triathlon Weekend? Piece of Cake!

Triathlons number 7 and 8 of the year are officially under my belt.   It was difficult to roll out of bed both mornings at 4AM and drive 130 miles to the races but I must say it was well worth it.   I set PRs on both days on the swim and bike.   My run on both days was constant and steady as usual but no PRs were to be had.  

I've been dragging ass all day today but I managed to write the first of the two race reports and post the pics.

My BIG race is this weekend.   The TriAmerica Long Course in Lake Ponchartrain in Mandeville, LA (northshore of New Orleans).   Distances are 1.24 mile swim, 40 mile bike and 10 mile run.   The swim is .4 miles OVER the half-Ironman course and the bike and run are just short of half-Iron.  This race is gonna be a challenge to say the least and should give me a good indication on where I am on my ROAD TO IRON!

Thanks for all the support guys and the great motivating PMs.   I swim/ bike / run for each and every one of YOU!

Awesome job Chad. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.  I always enjoy reading them. Scott

Nice job, Chad!  I had no doubt you'd do well.  This next one sounds like an even bigger challenge, but I know you're up to it!  Linn
