Notes for write up We
finished... 6th out of 8. About 20 minutes blown
jacking with a broken
chain... God knows how long blown because I had motor
oil in my lungs...
3 hours, 47 minutes and change... just over 23 miles...
If you look at the laps....
1 was the run
2 was TA
3 was ride until chain break
4 was chain break
Autostop feature kicked in here for the broken chain, so
the time doesn't
show. Turns out it was only 28 minutes... it just felt
like for friggin
ever!
5 was mountain biking
6 was TA
7 was road biking
8 was TA at river
9 was paddling
10 was walk/jog back to the other TA carrying boat,
paddles, life vests,
etc.
You can also download the Google Earth file from
there...
But we won one of these:
Anyway, racing when sick is just stupid!
And I'll make sure I go into detail about the sneeze
that blew about a
gallons and a half of snot from my nose EVERYWHERE!!!!!!

I don't look so bad here...
Wow! Look at the sick dood in the back...
The sick dood is still in the back...
The sick dood sits!
The young healthy shagomatic in the TA.
We were so kicking ass at this point!
Go Shag-o-matic, GO!
Racing and the flu should not be done in tandem...
Our boat seats waiting on us...
NB grabbing a boat for the paddling leg of the race...
shag-o-matic coming over to help the black-socked old man....
"Hop in shaggy!"
Row row row your boat...
That's using your head...
Good ole lucky number 13! One broken chain... and one now
really sick dood.
Hey, at least I'm smiling!
