OK ... i have been a little slow getting this sucker up here but it's getting to be that time of year and I need to be content that updates will be a little less frequent or maybe just short ;)
The photo above is four out of the five of us that raced a couple weeks ago in Sacramento. Yes, that is me in the new black team kit, yes I did race and yes the first race in four years hurt when i got out on the run. I do have to say it was great to be back out mixing it up again ... but if I have a looong way to go to get back to what feels 'normal'. Oh yeah, and a shout out to Phil Johnson who was missing form the photo above. Sorry, but I felt bad for knocking him off the podium ;)
So, a little update on all the TTE folks out racing!
Nuvit Foster ... congrats on a nice run out at the Boston Marathon. Nuvit is now in her preps for Ironman Couer D' Alene
Marie Muchow ... racing in the new TTE kit Marie re-found some mojo at the Eugene, Or. Half Marathon. Marie's key races come late this year in San Jose and CIM in Sacramento.
Jamie Lau ... had a GREAT race at the Napa Spring Tri pulling off a PB. Jamie's patient winter & spring training have set him up for a season of PB's.
Odessa Shexnaydre ... opened up her season with a nice performance at the Sacramento Tri. If she had stayed a little more on course she likely would have won her AG ;) ... Sorry O. Odessa turned around a week later and knocked off a very well executed race at the Napa Half Ironman taking 2nd in her age group!
Phil Johnson ... battling a bit of a troublesome knee Phil was pain free at the Sacramento Triathlon taking a fourth in his age group in an epic battle with Layne Scoggins. Like I said before i feel bad for knocking Phill off the "podium" at the race ... sorry buddy ;)
Layne Scoggins ... opening up the season Layne knocked the cobwebs off and did battle with Phil over at the Sacramento Tri. Those two ended up fifteen seconds apart with Phil getting the edge on the run!
John Lander ... the ageless one got his obiligatory first "so-so" race out of the way but still grabbed a podium spot at the Sacramento Triathlon.
Rob Chance ... changing focus this year form the longer distance racing back over to short course Rob opened up with a big race on the national calendar, St Anthony's in Florida. Rob had an interesting start to his trip (a little costly) and has a nice write up about it on his BLOG Rob had a VERY good age group third at one of the toughest age group races in the country. Next up for Rob is Escape From Alcatraz!
Also a shout out to Scott Wing and Jen Latourette (man that is weird typing that last name for her ;) who did the Wine Counrt 200k (actually 210k's) last weekend in their preps for the Davis Double Century ... the Davis Double is the 2nd ring of the triple crown of double centuries for Scott Wing.
Oh yeah, I did some bike racing this past week as well. Above is a picture of me doing some "duty" for the team as we had 3 guys out in the break. We got a first and a thrid place!
I'm sure I forgot something but that's all I have time for!
Until next time ... DL
