Thanksgiving Day Triathlon


Goodyear, Arizona

For Thanksgiving my son Christian and I did a reverse triathlon. Run-Bike-Swim. It was different and made for faster transitions. I was a little worried about being competitive in this race because I haven’t even stretched since El Tour De Tucson. I had been sick ever since that night and I hadn’t exercised or so much as even stretched since the race. I never got to go on a recovery ride. The day of the race was the first day I felt ok. For whatever reason, somehow today I had the juice. In a reverse triathlon, with the run behind you, there is no hesitation to give it everything you have on the bike. It was acutally one of my personal bests. The YMCA pool is just about the best pool I have encountered in Arizona.
