2009 Liberty Olympic and Long Course Triathlon Photos

Here’s a photographic recap of the Liberty Triathlon nearly 2 weeks ago. Pharmie did the long course and I did the Olympic distance.

Here I am finishing a PR swim:

Pharmie popped out of the water shortly after me:

We hit the hilly bike course:

And here we are heading back into T2 after the ride:

The run started with a decent uphill that was all woodchips. Suck-fest. Here I am rounding the corner at the top of that hill:

Heading to the finish (notice 2 of my “CVA Triathlon Club” students cheering me on behind the “n” and the “t” at the end of “Moments”):

2:23:06 chip time (oly PR by 14:27)

Pharmie came to the line a few hours later, finishing her 6th half-iron distance triathlon!!

I’m taking a photo of her to the far left

Just behind her in those photos was Joe, a running buddy that she had made on the course. They did most of the 13.1 mile run together. I shouted “Way to go Joe!!” as he ran by. He turned back to see who was cheering him on...

...and then gave me a thumbs-up as he crossed the line:

Liberty was a fun tri! Pharmie and I may do this race again in the future!

I'll be back tomorrow with some photos from a group workout that's going down tonight. I'll post that tomorrow before the "Friday Funny." This is my 499th post, and I don't want #500 to be a "Friday Funny"...
