Davis Family YMCA/Steel Valley Triathlon Club Sprint Distance Triathlon : Official Thread

no one?

i am arriving in Y town 6 pm Sat with my kids.  My sister will watch the kids during the race.

I plan to be at check in 5:45/6

I must be tough on the bike .

f f f f freeezing

fun from the time i arrived for check in until 1 minute into the bike.

seems the temp dropped severely overnight and winds were high - and genius boy made no changes in race plan.

my feet eventually got so numb i thought i would get frostbite.  i actually hoped i would flat so i could quit riding.  by the time i got to t2 i couldn't control the bike while running, i had a lot of trouble working the snap on my helmet, it took a minute of trying to get my feet in the running shoes i grabbed them and ran barefoot until i had pain in my toes (feeling glorious feeling)  i sat down and struggled with the shoes but got them on.  
the miami tri was warmer.

after a mile with my feet thawed and comfortable it became fun again.

really great event.  steel valley tri club and youngstown Y's are 2 for 2 with great events (that is assuming they didn't cause the weather)
 

do you know when they are going to post the results? i was the guy who lost his pedal and had to wait ~5 minutes to get it fixed and have a sort of morbid curiosity on my times haha

dude - that sucks. Welcome to the BT forums!

i didn't know about the pedal incident.

i keep checking runhigh.com and youngstowntriathlon.tripod.com but they aren't up yet.

they are pretty good and the race was small so it shouldn't be too long of a wait.
