100 Triathlons
Go to the early blogs to read how I got into triathlons. Click on any picture to enlarge it. "It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood...who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly." Theodore Roosevelt 1910

38th Real Florida 5k10k at Wekiwa Springs

Great time at the Real Florida 5k10k this morning. Getting there early, I set up my HAMMER NUTRITION table for giveaways in the crisp 50' morning air. I approached this, my 15th time at this race, cautiously, after last year's setbacks. Shot some photos at the start and began my run at the back of the group. I began pushing my pace at the 1 mile mark and began passing people every few minutes. At mile 4, I began to catch people that had been far ahead and then surged through mile 5. I beat last year's time by 16 seconds, finishing at 1:16:31; second place out of four in 10-74. Very happy with my effort! Post-race breakfast at the Vergauwen's home was fabulous and featured Hammer Gels!
