Mass State Triathlon

Last Sunday, just after returning from Brooklyn on Saturday, Matthew and I went out to Winchendon, Mass, for a triathlon. It was the Olympic Distance Mass State Triathlon and I raced in the Athena Division against only 5 others. Turns out that in spite of early rain, cloudy skies, and blistered feet (from bad sandals walking 3-4 miles in Brooklyn), I had a great race! I passed lots of people on the bike and run, making up 8 minutes on the first Athena exiting the swim. Here are some photos -- the complete set is on flickr:

and from after the race with my first place Athena goods -- a new tech t-shirt!

Lastly, our team's president and other teammates cheer the Wheelworks Multsport team as we won our fifth consecutive USA Triathlon team champions in Massachusetts.
