Subject: RE: Blalock Lakes, whos in???Wow, it was a great day for racing! No wetsuits was a surprise, but the water was nice. I thought Blalocks was usually a minute or so slower/longer than Tanner, but I saw a bunch of people, me too, with faster times. I was most impressed by the teenagers. I don't mind being chicked by a teenage girl who swims 600 in sub 10, 11, or 12 minutes, then runs a 5k in under 21 or 22. Wow. And the boys, holy crap, half of them were under 9 minute swims! Was that 17:16 5k the fastest run of the day?! And a bunch of 18's and 19's. They are the next generation of top triathletes. They were strong, fast, professional. The sport is in good hands. Very impressive. |
