Memphis In May Triathlon 2009




Kirby and I traveled to Memphis on the 15th.  Kirbs hung out with some friends for the weekend, while I participated in the MIMTRI Olympic Distance Tri.  This was my second time to participate in this event.  Unlike 2008, the weather was quite unusual for Memphis.  The morning of the race, the Air Temp was 57 with a 20-25 MPH wind.  My time in 2008 was 3:40, my time in 2009 was 2:54 a 46 minute improvement!  I think I could have gone 2:30, but the wind really slowed me down on the bike.  My friend Adam Zucco, came in second in the 30-34 male age group, while his wife Lindsey came in second in the female group.  They both did great. Next race in the Rockman 1/2.  This race was also the first race at which my parents attended.  I think they enjoyed themselves. (except for the weather)  We all went to Corky's after the race...I earned it!  IronMan in Sept
