Epic Race Today

Carnage all over the bike course. Many technical sections of the course including downhill’s into hairpin turns leading to crashes and ambulances everywhere with deluge of rain and winds throughout. Not sure if it was fun. I made it unscathed though I was slow on the bike and didn’t wreck. I finished in 2 hours 3 minutes, 174 place overall out of a field of 577. I also noticed that 62 racers or about 10% of the field did not finish. Thats a lot!

Here is interactive view of my race: http://www.zumtri.com/race_files/ITUDuathlon2009/ZumTri.html#r=65&r1=171

NASCAR Country for 2009 - Eve of Duathlon Worlds

I am listening to the rain on the roof , as I am laying in my cubby hole of a bed in our RV. My Team USA teammate, a friend and I drove from Washington, DC to Concord, NC for Duathlon Worlds 2009. The weather report calls for storms, thunder and lightning throughout the race day tomorrow with 70% chance at 3:30pm when our race wave starts.

We have been here for 2 days living in the RV getting acquainted with this NASCAR Racing Town that is pretty much deserted except for the duathlon teams from all over the world including South Africa, Japan, France, New Zealand and many more.

Anyway, I have mixed feeling about the approaching weather conditions. Since I am not strong on the bike I am hoping the rain will be the great equalizer. Particularly since the bike course is very technical with many turns.

Watch for a blog update in a few days with results.
