Tinman Sprint 6-18-2011
Well the day started out great really nice morning, I felt great. My swim wave was first, males 29 and under. I was 5th out of the water feeling great no real issues. T1 went great. I hoped on the Bike and push it hard from the gate. I passed 1 guy in my age group and then I was by myself for a long while I was averaging 21 on the bike then at the 10 mile mark 3 miles out from t2 disaster struck. I herd a pop, I was riding on my rim. I changed my tire it took me 7 and half minutes. Very upset at this point but I tried to shrug it off. This is the first time this has happened to me in a race. Got into T2 with no problems. The run is a rolling hill course around the lake, it was out and back. I passed two guys in my age group back on the run. I averaged 7:38 on the run. Looking at the times that flat cost me at least 4th maybye 3rd in my age group and around 30th overall. I got 8th in my age group and 90th overall. I was still happy, my bike was smoking, last year I averaged 17.5mph on the bike this year without the tire change I avg. 20.5mph. Works Works!
