Chattanooga 70.3 on Sunday for me. I raced it last year as my 1st HIM and loved it. I broke my collarbone last August so we'll see on Sunday how much I've "recovered".

I only have two athletes racing this weekend.  One is racing in pouring rain today at Got The Nerve sprint in Mount Gretna, PA, and the other is racing the French Creek oly near Philadelphia.

Placed 2nd overall, so I was happy. My IT band is really starting to annoy the heck out of me though. I took over a week off of running and biking leading up to this sprint to see if it would help, and it really didn't. I was good on the run until about 1.5 miles then it decided to start to ache, etc. Made it through with a 19:12 or so split, not my best, but enough to lock down 2nd overall with plenty of cushion on the next guys. It rained on us during the bike ride, so things were a little slower out there, but overall it was a well ran race. I got to give some advice to some newer triathletes doing their first race and it seemed to help one of them at least. She placed first in her age group and did very well overall as well.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.

I did the Pokagon Olympic triathlon on Saturday in Indiana. I was 1st in my age group and had a PR for the run and bike segments for this race (my 6th time). The swim course was vastly different (and longer) this year or I would have had an overall PR for this race.

I had the Dirty Dog trail race. It is a 15k with 150 spots for people to run with the dogs. It was a total mudfest this year. My dog and I were mid-pack, but we had a blast.

^THAT sounds like fun. I'm enjoying running with our Vizsla.

Placed 3rd AG (M50-54) in local sprint (36 N), yesterday.

I think a Vizla won. He looked really clean, too, so I suspect he stayed focused on the run. My pit bull was playing around so much that she looked like some dumped a bucked of mud on her head at the end.

Contrats on your placement yesterday.

I'm cracking up just thinking of trying to get my two very happy and bouncy, but not endurance champs, labs to go 15k.  Guessing I'd be carrying two big, tired, happy pups the last 13k...  Sounds like a blast of a race!

Congrats to all the racers this past weekend - nicely done.
