Kill Kuato

Well I busted out a 100 mile bike and I also busted my ass.

It took me about 6 hrs and 50 minutes and averaged about 14 mph.

I left Lincoln park around 730 and about 1 hr 20 minutes into the ride, when i hit Entiat, I accidently reset my new bike computer! I was pissed.

About 11 miles north of Entiat I peeled off my facemask, fleece gloves, and long sleeve shirt.

Baby Powder break too.

I cruised through chelan towards Wells Dam.  This was a long haul.

Baby Powder break.

Turn around wells damn. Hard time getting off bike. Took a break. ( I had past the first 2 break points).

A pro biking group from Seattle, kept on passing me, and they were taking breaks. 8(

I had about 40 miles to go, @ about 70 miles I started to cry. Body hurt so much and I was thinking of Ironman 2010. I could not see the end and my legs were in pain if I stopped peddling, and in pain if I peddled.- a total doublebind.

Break area @ about 80. Good break.

Baby Powder.

Off to Orondo. More positive.

Break in Orondo. 10 miles to go!

Baby Powder.

I could see Turtle Island in the distance so I knew the end was near.  Spirits are up!

Finish. IN pain.

No happiness, no sadness. Just pain. Ate some chicken and could barely drive home using the clutch.

Friend told me it was elactic acid build up in my legs.

Well last weekend I busted my ass doing 50 miles over about 3.5 hrs on my ten speed, so I decided to bust my ass again coming up on Sept 27th. 100 Miler! Last year I did the 25 mile version of Mike Utleys Bike o’rama on my crappy mountain bike. I also took a shot at a cow elk with my longbow this last Thursday, but just missed. It was a down hill shot up at Grouse Springs. Arrow went right under his belly.

I finished 2 olympic size triathlons this summer.

considering doing the Seattle Marathon.

mi vida

Attended my highschool reunion. It was a trip to see my first prom date. She was dressed right out of 1981, in a white blouse with fluffy shoulders. It seemed like a Stephen King Movie. Saw some others but not that many since I did not socialize much in Highschool.

I completed my 2nd Olympic size Triathlon this morning. I will post my times and pix soon.

I was about last place I believe because I had a flat tire about a mile into the bike. My sister and father and wife came out to cheer me on. I felt proud in finishing my 2nd one! My only goal this year was for 1 olympic. which I did in Chelan. I now need to realize that these are incremental goals and I cannot slack off between races. It cost me this one and I felt it on the bike and run.

Apple Capitol Triathlon Website here. My chelanman Olympic was 02:58:05.8.

I think the flat tire did not help..
