Great video, great song

A friend sent me this video of Danny MacAskill doing his thing on his bike. It's worth a watch for sure. The song is awesome also. It's called The Funeral, by Band of Horses. Good stuff.

2010 East Cooper Coastal Triathlon

This was my 3rd race of the year, and finally, I was able to put together a good race from start to finish with no mechanical issues.

Training-wise, I had a productive winter and did a decent job of both maintaining my 2009 fitness, and integrating speed work back into my workouts. I was ready for my first race in March, but had some brake issues that cost me several minutes on the bike. During my second race, my chain snapped and I was unable to complete the bike portion of the race. Very disappointing considering how good I was feeling.

All I wanted to do last Sunday was have a good race with no problems. The swim went well, and although I got a little tired in the final push, my split was OK. I had a fast transition, and, finally, a good bike leg. I averaged around 20.75 MPH for the 16 mile course. My run split was 27 minutes for the 4-mile course. Grabbed 19th overall and 2nd in my division. That works for me.
