Since the board has been a bit slow lately I thought I would try to give it a boost. I just completed my 2nd Tri of the season. Memphis in May Triathlon was a great race, over 1700 racers, 90 degree heat, 15 to 20 MPH winds, 83 degree water temperatures. The unseasonably hot weather and the wind made for some interesting racing. Now for the problem with my new Tetra, I hammered the flat bike course the best I could, fighting into the wind 14 of the 24 miles. I managed to average just under 20 MPH which for me is fantastic considering the wind. The bike is a dream it handles flawless and makes you feel guilty for holding back. Upon completing the bike course I realized that I had a 6 mile run left. Woops forgot about that. I managed to run a blistering 12 minute mile after that run. I know the real problem is that I am not in good enough shape, but last year I would have known better to go at a pace beyond my abilities on the bike. So now I am training to be worthy of my Tetra.
Are you worthy of your Calfee?
