I learned two things today...First, "show low" a poker term became the name of this tiny little settlement near Fort Apache in the early 1800's as the right to settle was won on a hand of "seven up" - and so became Show Low, AZ!
Second, 40 - 44 mens division is FAST! As we were scarfing down the post race BBQ, I was just in earshot of the awards...in my previous age group 2:31 took 3rd...in my current, 2:14...
I had a good race, but not that good...top 15 maybe, 64th overall. The official results aren't posted yet but swim was almost exactly the same time as last year @ 30 minutes, transitions slightly faster, bike 1 mph faster @ 20.5 mph, and 8:33's on the run vs 9:15's last year. 2:40, a 9 minute PR.
BSG, Bjames, Dan, Mary and Cathy all raced well.
Raffle/beer time in looming! Feeling lucky & thirsty, not necessarily in that order.
Mean muggin' with BSG pre-race.
