“...2 outta 3 ain’t bad.”
In my post this morning, I said that Matt and I (Team Happy Pants) wanted to do 3 things at the Gear West Duathlon today:
1. Take nearly 3 minutes off our time from last year.
2. Beat the team course record.
3. Win the team competition.
So......
1. We bettered our time from last year by 3:14!!
2. We beat the old team course record time by 0:51!
3. BUT there was another team that soundly beat us. D’oh.

I'm first! wheee! gratz steve !
Great job! And 2 out of 3 is excellent.
Glad that i figured out who was marrying who and who was related to who...geesh. Must have been that last hill that made me brain dead!
Two out of three ain't bad...
Putting on my mom hat:
"Winning isn't everything." Glad to see Matt got a new helmet.
congrats on the 2, maybe next year you'll go three for three. glad to see Matt is doing well and recovered!
I see you guys had on layers prior to the race... and Matt had on a warm clothes for the bike.. was it pretty chilly there?!
2/3 is only a 67%.
What a bunch of losers.
:)
Figured you needed a little ego deflation.
Technically, it's 66.6%. Oh wait... more ego deflation...
Dang.
;)
Thanks Frayed Laces! Ha!
Congrats! You achieved the two goals which you could control; You cannot do anything about the times of others in the competition..well...at least not legally you can't. ;-)
That was a pretty sweet list of goals so two out of three is super. (And you can take those other guys down next year.) Yay Team Happy Pants!
Hey, it is all about who shows up to the race that day. You should feel good that you beat your time from last year after Matt's crash.
I am in awe that you are all still in warm jackets and stuff. It is so hot here in Texas. We had a cold front run through yesterday and drop the temps into the 60's. It is back up in the 80's today.

Congrats on achieving the 2 out of 3! Those are awesome accomplishments!
That's the thing about racing - you can't do anything about your competition. All you can do is race to your potential. Great job beating your previous time and the old course record. That's pretty awesome!
glad matt was feeling good enough to beat your time from last year. Good job!
wooohoo you guys are super speedy boys!
It was great to finally meet you yesterday!
Sounds like a pretty solid day. Can't wait to read teh full report.
2 out of 3 is awesome and your lookin good in those yellow shorts!!!
Looking forward to the full RR....
Well done my man! Annoying that you accomplished the first two and that didn't automatically result in the third, but still lots ot be proud of.
