I'll Be Your One Man Cheering Band

The first weekend in June is traditionally a HUGE racing weekend. I'd say in the Northeast especially, this is the official kickoff weekend for Triathlon. The Lakes are finally unfrozen AND warm enough to swim in (usually with a wetsuit).

So, are YOU racing this weekend?

I am! I am doing the Tri Ridgefield Sprint up in Ridgefield, CT. The last time I did a sprint was exactly two years ago and it was this race. Kind of hard to believe that I haven't done a sprint in two years! My time from two years ago was a 1:16:39, so it is a very short race.

Which means!!!!

That after a quick bite to eat and a quick stretch I am hitting the road for Quassy to spectate Rev3! With little traffic, I can get there in 35-40 minutes, which should hopefully get me there when folks are still out on the bike. I plan to be a one man cheering band for Mandy @ Caratunk Girl, Jill @ Simply Tri, and Jason @ Tech-Tri. I also plan to ask Mirinda Carfrae to marry me then ask Terenzo Bozzone to be my best man at the wedding. I think I should get two yesses, right?

I plan to bring plenty of water, a camping chair, and food, and cheer my heart out!

Good luck to anyone racing and have a safe and fun weekend!

    Jeff beat me to it! Chrissie is going to be pissed! Hopefully you signed a pre-nup with her so that she doesn't get your bike in the split. haha

    I love training for long triathlons totally redefines "sprint tri". All out, all the way and it is like nothing. Rock it!

    Have fun cheering!

    I have only done sprints - and right now that distance is perfect for me, but I'm sure when you're not used to that short distance and going really fast it can be a little challenge. Have fun with it! I'm not racing this weekend, BUT it's gonna be 75 degrees (gasp) here in WA, so I'm getting some serious training in!
