Keller Monster Sprint Triathlon!!!!

What's up y'all? Had a very fun little race today. I wasn't sure how it was going to go seeing as I just ran 104 miles 6 days ago, however, I felt almost completely recovered and put in a good enough effort to sweep the Clydesdale. It was low 40 degrees, 10 mph wind and a pretty rolling course. Overall tmes across the board were slow but I was still happy with the effort. My transitions were slow because, like a little woosy, I put on a jacket and gloves for the ride, then threw on some socks on my frozen feet for the run. Anyways, I felt really good, and although averaging 7:56's on the 5k is not exactly lightning, I am surprised my body even remembers how to run faster than 10 minute miles! So that puts a close on the 2011 Triathlon season, it has been a GREAT one! Splits for the Clydesdale are below. Over 700 Athletes in the race today!

Okay, im convinced you are far from human. When I saw you were going to attempt this, I thought you were crazy. But taking 1st - thats insane!!!


Congrats!

congrats on the podium, that is awesome....  i don't know how you do it, if it were me, there is no way i would be recoverd enough to race 1 week after an event like you did.

miraculous recovery!  I had some major struggles one week after "just" a marathon during "just" a 5k.  you are a machine!

Congrats!

You DA MAN DAN! Congrats!
