More Photos from the Apple Duathlon

Erica, the wife of "racing buddy" Chad, was at the Apple Duathlon taking a lot of photos. She got some great photos of the elites that I used in this article, but I wanted to show some of Matt, Chad, and I racing.

Ben, Chad, Matt, and I heading to the start.


The start of Wave 2 (Chad and I are in there).


Me on the far left, Chad on the far right, Diane's hubby in the middle.


Jeez... it looks like I'm leisurely waltzing out of T1.


Chad leaving T1 just behind me.

Look at the last photo. CLOSELY. Right in the middle on the street. There's a biker heading up the hill. When you wear the things that I wear at a race, it's easy to say with 100% conviction: "Hey, that's me!" Even if I'm just a tiny speck of a blur in the distance.

Close-up of the last photo. Absolutely me. ;)

Behind Chad (in the next Wave back) was Matt. Here he is coming into T1:

Getting in from the bike.


Tracking down Julie Hull right near the finish. Damn heel-strike.


That's better. Just don't look at my face.


That woman loves my shorts. Apparently.


Talking with Chad moments after finishing.


Chad, me, and Graeme. Sorry about my exposed chest. I was actually
trying to get the zipper to open FARTHER on the hot final run!


Matt coming to the finish - about 20 seconds before puking.
