Congratulation DC, well done! From: David Caudle Sent: Saturday, April 14, 2012 4:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [COWs] Belews Lake tri report
Sounds like the CoWs have had a busy day. Here is what my play time consisted of: I headed to Greensboro last night and had a great pasta dinner with some good friends. They were nice enough to let me crash and did not mind that I had to get up at 5:20 to head to Belews lake for an 8:00 start. Got there with plenty of time to spare after setting up everything. Official comes to me and says my bike can't be where it is although this was my spot. The way the fence was setup at the end of the row was gonna cause everyone in that row to be cramped. So he bumped me to the best spot on the play ground. Up front with not a soul around me. Great way to start the day. :). Water temp was 66.4 so it was wetsuit legal and thats always good news for me. This race was a staggered start another positive. Ever 10 secs they would let 2 go. I left at 8:25. For once I felt great on a swim. Swam a 1500 and I was out of the water and on the bike in less then 30min. I think I came of of the water in just over 26min my best 1500 ever. Thank you wetsuit. Out of transition on the bike is a nice (not sonmuch)short climb maybe 50 yards but it was enough to wake my legs up. Normally the bike is my best leg but the first loop of 2 was not great...just could not find the legs. Loop 2 was great and I finish 27 miles at 21.7avg. Time to run.....my least fav part. Shoes on and I off....damn there's that hill again. Ugh ok so the wedsite said this was a flat run course....not sure what roads they were talking about but it was not so flat. I felt pretty good and made it through without needing medical help. (sure wish my marathon had felt this good lol)Came across the finish 2:32:57. I was shooting for under 2:30:00 so I was happy with that. This was a double points race so there were some really fast racers there today. Jon Anderson being one of them. He did great as always. I finished 85 of like 500 and 13 of 39 age group. Nice ride Bob and Steve! Good luck Monday KP!

It was a cool start to the ride with temperatures in the mid-40s. The ride headed east from the north side of Goldsboro with the midpoint of the ride to be in Eureka. Steven and I hung with the front group hoping that Goldsboro rules were in force. This turned out to be a huge mistake. As we made the first turn, the pace immediately went to 21-22. As the pullers changed, the pace kept sliding up. The Seyboro guys usually do double pace lines and, when my turn came, I was paired with a Seyboro guy. He sees a long 2% grade an proceeds to push the pace to 27. I fall back and the rest of the group also slowed. We hung on to the front for the first 25 miles and then got more sane. By the second rest stop, we picked up a few others and limped to the end into a strong headwind. Thanks to Steven for hanging back with me. He was strong enough to leave our little group if he wanted. His mountain training with DC last weekend paid off. I’m attaching the route; unfortunately, I missed the first two miles. http://connect.garmin..com/activity/167961513 The words for the day were Wheeeee for the start; Whoops for not backing off the pace early; and Ouch because I’m hurting. Still, a fun day on someone else’s playground. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CyclistsOfWilson-COWs" group.
