I've started off 2004 with a tiny triathlon in New Orleans. It was a 400 meter swim, 10 mile road bike ride, and 2 mile run. I didn't do very well, mostly because the swim was difficult for me. I really need to work on that before XTerra in May. You can view my results here.
In 2003, I ran and biked a few races, but the only ones I'll mention are the multisports, because they involve both running and off road biking. In May, I was in the XTerra triathlon held in Ruston, LA. It was an 800 meter swim, 10 mile offroad bike ride, and 5K run. I came in very last place, but received a second prize medal because there were only two people in my age/gender category. On November 8th, 2003 I was in an offroad duathlon which was a USAT National event, Piney Hills. It was a 2 mile run, 10 mile offroad bike ride, and 2 mile run. I did a lot better in this race (mostly because it didn't involve swimming), but still scored second place in my age/gender category. Haha! Below are some photos of my Piney Hills duathlon.
I've started out the 2004 year in a series of time trials at the LP Park. You can view my stats here.
