New Fun Run From Home

Carter Lake Bike Ride

Great ride to Carter Lake with Andrew and Andy - about 65 miles. Check out the heart rate! On the way back we were taking turns pulling and you can see when it was my turn. I was struggling to hold on! Those guys are fast :-)

It's 4:45am and I'm waking up to head out for a bike ride this morning with Andy and Andrew. I'm a little sluggish. But heck - who wouldn't be - it's 4:45am.

We are going to ride up to Carter lake. Should be around 60 miles and 3 to 3 1/2 hours.

I'll try to post some video and pictures along with the MotionBased track later.

Shawnee Mission Triathlon

Shawnee Mission Triathlon,

Participated in the Shawnee Mission Triathlon this morning.



Got up at 4am and headed out around 4:30. Arrived and parked around 5:30. Rode my bike down to transition and set up. Warmed up with a run and a loop around the bike course.



First wave went off at 7am. Great swim course with bouys all along a rectangle on your right. Easy to follow. The bike course was tough. Four laps around a very hilly course. The run went out through some well shaded open space.



I finished strong with two guys on each elbow. Waited 'til the last 100 yards and out kicked them both by around 3 and 5 seconds to grab 5th place overall.



Really well run race. Quite enjoyable.



Got back to Steve's house around 11:15 and quickly showered and packed. We left at noon and have been at it ever since. 5 hours of driving so far. I think we'll make it home tonight. Maybe 4 hours left to go.

Great 55 mile bike ride from Independence to Levasy. Had to turn around because the water was over the road. Lots of rain the last few days. Crazy flooding!

I'll post the MotionBased track later.
