Memphis In May Triathlon 2010

May 23, was the day for the annual Memphis In May triathlon. About 15 of my fellow triathletes from Multisport Madness, traveled to Memphis for the event. This event is an Olympic distance tri, with a 1.5k swim, 40k bike, and 10k run. Race day temps were in the mid-90's. The race proved to be more difficult due to the heat and many of the athletes were adversely effected. I personally had a decent swim, followed by a decent bike, followed by a horrible run. I was glad to cross the finish line at 3:24, which was about 30 minutes slower than 2009. You can bet that I will be back to improve my performance.

Tornados in Tennessee

On May 2, a tornado touched down in the SE corner of Hardeman County Tennessee. Unfortunately, many of my relatives were affected with the storms destruction. Mark, James, Uncle Bill, and several other's homes were destroyed. There was one critical injury involved. Mom and Dad's house was spared from any damage. These are some of the pictures taken during my visit back home last weekend.
