Moist Duathlon Photos

The official photos are up from our wet and wild duathlon this past weekend (the Winter BeGone Duathlon near Rochester MN). Here’s transition after the rain stopped, as it was emptying out just before the start:

We all walked to the start. Here’s 115 people waiting to start:

Ready, set, go:

Here’s Steph starting her FIRST EVER MULTI-SPORT EVENT:

Here are the leaders rounding the first corner. I’m peaking through the middle:

Here’s Matt in the first run:

Here’s Pharmie:

Here’s the majority of the pack running out, and you can see Borsch and Steph side-by-side:

Here I am a few minutes later, running into transition:

My fingers were numb, and I had to fumble with the chinstrap of my helmet for a few too many seconds:

Leaving T1 in about 10th place:

Goldilocks (my bike) had 2 of her twin sisters there:

Here’s Matt headed out on the bike:

Pharmie leaving T1:

Here’s Borsch’s SWEET flying start! Both of his feet are off his pedals, and you can still see daylight under his junk. Way to go, Borsch!

And here’s Steph heading out:

Pharmie a few miles into the bike:

Borsch...

...and Steph:

Here I am AWKWARDLY getting ready to dismount:

That was one of the last photos in the album. If they put up some finishers photos, I’ll make sure to post them.

After the race, Matt, Pharmie, and I loaded up my car and headed back. We were wet and stinky. So I’ve been trying to air all the stank out of my car. I think I need to Febreeze the heck out of it.

I have some big/fun triathlon news to share with you all shortly. No, there’s no IM in my future, nor even another Half IM in my near future. I’m waiting until it becomes more official, but I’ll share the news as soon as I can. I’m pretty stoked!!...

In the meantime, if you didn’t see my race report, check out my post below. Thanks everyone!
