On Saturday I hit the alarm and the road at 0' dark 30 for Santa Barbara to watch and support a host of T3 athletes that were tackling the long course race. They did not disappoint. Danny Brienza came up BIG and had the overall victory almost in his grasp, losing it with less than 2mi to go. He gutted it out the rest of the way and held on for 2nd. Another big performance came from good friend and loyal training partner Bill MacLeod who used the fastest bike split and fastest run split in his age group to take 2nd in 50-54 and 19th overall. Fellow IM Wisconsin racer in 2 weeks, Ryan Pearson, also stepped onto the 30-34 podium with a solid race. Scott, Brynn, Christine and Chris all had very good races as well.
The only decent pic I got all day: Bill MacLeod heading out to put the hurt on
In all it was a MONSTER weekend for T3 Performance Multisports.
After my spectating was done for the day, I was pretty wisped and enjoyed a restful remainder of the day.
Sunday was my last big day for IM Wisconsin. Another 7hrs of swim/bike/run went by without a hitch. Nothing spectacular, but nothing unspectacular either which was all I was looking for. The work is pretty much done now. Just get there, execute, suffer, and hopefully finish with a smile.
Congrats again to all T3ers on smashing it this weekend.
Jason rocked it at Alcatraz - so fun seeing him and Gaylen out there!
ReplyDeleteYou and me both were specathletes this weekend. Hey, can you work on getting the big C to do Canada as well next year?
