Tucson Sprint!!

Today was the first race of the year, the Tucson sprint triathlon. We arrived at the race site at 4:45AM thinking that we would be the first into transition...not so much :( Walking into transition was slightly embarrassing, a sea of Cervelos decked out in Dura Ace and Zipp. The Age Groupers were playing for keeps!!! 

Once transition was set up we rolled over to Starby's for some pre-race caffeine. By about 9 the sky was overcast for the first time since we were here. It actually got cold for a bit. We swam in University which was short course yards which=Fast Times!! Scotty took the swim prime with an 8:15 for the 800 very nice!!

The bike was a whole different animal! The first part of the lap was a smoothly paved downhill that went past the U of A football stadium. very cool. If you asked anyone about the section along Euclid st they would tell you about the saddle sores. It hurt pretty bad.

The run was pretty good because we ran right in the middle of campus.

results are on the Tuscon Tri's website.
