Owen Sound Race Report

What a weekend!

We headed down on the Friday to get a little R and R before the race. I raced on the Saturday and what I thought was going to be a sprint triathlon turned into a duathlon due to freezing water temperatures. I am talking 54 degrees!

It turned out to be a 2km run, 20km bike, 5km run. The run started fast and furious where the leaders took it out in a 3:15km pace. I stuck a 3:37km pace and ran 2km in 17:14. I headed out in 4th onto the bike. I pulled everyone in and was just behind the leader who was biking like a maniac. The headwind held other athletes back as I got a longer lead into the 5km.

Off the bike I was in 2nd and wasn't able to run down the leader and took 2nd overall. Ran a respectable 19min 5km to finish the race.

Sunday got crazy! What we thought was going to be an interesting race turned into a C3 powerhouse day. Sean took out the swim and lead the race right onto the bike. Next out of the water was James, Shags, Jenn, Dave, and Yorke. They got together and formed a great pack where they were able to have a good lead into the run.

Sean went solo and took the win with a stellar run off the bike. 2nd was Shags...congrats bro, the quest is on! Dave took 3rd with a "Pre" like run, and James, came in rounding out the pack.

The girls looked awesome! Rachel great work on a 2nd place, Coombs, we be runnin! and Jenn Great race stuck it strong!

Well all this was happening I threw down a 75min tempo run!! oh yeah...Du nats next week
