There was a local race on Saturday. I ran this race 2 years ago and it was a lot harder than I expected. This time was just as hard.
Just getting ready for the race. Once again Christie came and was my biggest fan and a great photographer.
Waiting for the gun...
Coming in from the first run and getting ready to jump on the bike.
This is after the bike ride. 10 miles of non-stop hills.
Coming in for the finish! The legs were burning.
Relief and a cup of fruit. This race was not as successful as last weekend. I finished in 1:06:15 and that was enough for 26th place overall and 4th in the 20-29 year old age group. Oh well, I guess I need to train more.
The Aiken Steeplechase happens twice a year and this year we met up with some friends to watch the races. Neat event and a fun afternoon but poor Christie got roasted. We should have brought the sunscreen.
This is the carriage parade. Just looking at the pictures will make you talk with an english accent.
That guy on the left in the orange and white was leading the whole race and then lost it at the end. My money was on the orange and white. I lost.
I think the guy I had my money on in this race was so far behind he didn't even get in the picture. Yeah, I wasn't too successful at the races. Good thing we only had $1 bets.
