But first, tomorrow is IronMan St. George and a few of our fellow bloggers are going to be out there giving it the good fight. So best of luck to Mike Russell (@ 26.2 is my Cooldown), Bob and his buddy Arnie (@OneHourIronman), and Fatty and his wife Lisa (@ Fat Cyclist). Good luck guys and I can't wait to read the Race Reports!
I mentioned early that I won a Zipp 440 Front Carbon Wheel on Ebay. It came today and here are the pics:
Very excited. Quite the steal for around $100! Going to take it to the LBS to get the tubulars put in and then I am going to order a rear disc cover from Wheelbuilder.com and place on my rear trainer wheel.
Here are pics from last weekends race:
Moody Gardens - Race Site
What OWS would have looked like if it had actually happened!
The Gulf and you can see why the swim was cancelled!
Early morning transition area.
Me leaving my "special place".
Starting the run.
Apparently, getting ready to take out a small child.
Coming down the finishing chute.
These next pics are all from the LoneStar Ironman 70.3 the next day.
Moody Gardens Run Course .. great location!
Much calmer Gulf on Sunday!

Super cool cowboy hat finishers medal ... Gotta love Texas!
I hope everyone has a great weekend. I have a 50 mile bike ride tomorrow and a 12 mile run on Sunday. Sort of nice to not have a race or be in a taper!
Thanks for Reading,
Jeff
Did you kick that kid in the head? Poor guy... In tri, sometimes these things happen.
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness, though, sick race, Jeff! Goooood job!!
hahaha... no K, no head kicking occurred! That pics just makes it look like I was about ready to plow into the little guy but it didn't happen!
ReplyDeleteHi Jeff,
ReplyDeleteThose are great pictures of your race:) I really like your outfit...the black shorts with the red top:) Looks good! Also....Holy Cow, check out the man arms on Desiree!?! I feel better now:)

Pshaw... I've swam in worse :) but I'm also stupider than most.
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, cool medal.

ReplyDeleteNice wheel! Funny, Terenzo Bozzone came in 2nd or 3rd @ New Orleans the weekend before. How do they do it weekend after weekend!
ReplyDeleteNice wheels, dude. I can't wait to see pics of your bike with it all decked out. Makes that first bike you had look like a tricycle, I'm sure!
