Texas Motor Speedway Duathlon February 21, 2010: 2mile run, 15mile bike, 2mile run
what a great way to spend a race on the TX nascar race track than with the husband.
here he comes....
what a finish Jesse.... I'm so glad that I was able to take these photo's of you!
what a great race and weekend together. We drove up the day before and the joys of my race started to unfold as Jesse's stayed glued together. See on my end this is what happened...(1) The bike I was using to race on turned out to be two small but hey the race wasn't that long, I could deal with it. (2) picked up race packet and they didn't have a sm t-shirt for me they ran out-now we all know that I do the race for the t-shirt so that bumbed me out. they said they would order me one and mail it to me-still waiting- (3) the front tire on the bike had a small hole in it so I decided to use fast zipp tubular tires-which are known to never flat and if they do u have to replace everything which I didn't have-but I didn't want to flat with that other tire. (4) race morning our camper got stuck in the mud but luckily 15mis later and lots of flying mud we got unstuck. (5) at the race site it started to pour-delay of race by 30mins and my cycle shoes full of water. (6) right before the race started my race bib ripped off of my race belt- luckily I switched race belts with Jesse. (7) Jesse and Blake were in the wave before me so I didn't get to start with them. (8) on my way to T1 and my race bid tore off again and I stuffed it into my shirt. (9) lap one of three the seat of the bike started to slide around. (10) Lap 3 my back tubular that was to never flat flatted- so the last of the bike loop I was ridding very slow just to get into T2. (11) in T2 my race bib was gone.....

I finished the race with enough time to get my camera to take photo's of Jesse. So over all it was a great race.... I didn't get my t-shirt but I did a first place in my age group.
this will be a race to remember!!!
