Bike Race – Part 2

June 3, 2008

I had a ton of pictures from the bike race last week. So I had to do a second post because trying to limit my favorites to a couple was just too hard.

Always make sure your tires are pumped up before the big race.

Bike Race – Part 1

May 29, 2008

Last night I was in the bike race for Corporate Challenge. This was my first year doing it and while I didn’t do as good as I had hoped they had better watch out for next year!

My coworker Dustin was in it as well and I hung out with his two sons – Amandus and Lucas – while he raced. Aren’t his boys handsome?

He was a smart dad and brought toys and coloring books to entertain his boys.

I would have totally won if I’d had this helmet!!

Doesn’t Lucas look just like his dad?

Don’t worry I still have plenty of pictures left from the race to blog about. You’ll be seeing a part 2 post shortly.

Yesterday I enjoyed watching my girlfriend Julie complete her first triathlon of the year at Heritage Park. She completed an IronMan last November so this was a piece of cake for her.

Julie’s 2 hour triathlon at Heritage took less time than JUST THE SWIMMING section of her Ironman. Yes I know, she’s officially demented if she chose to swim for that long. If I had to swim for 2 hours straight I think I’d know I’d die. Don’t get me wrong, I can doggy paddle with the best of them but if it takes more than 10 minutes – please party it up at my funeral. Anyway, now that we’ve established her mental capacity she obviously makes up for it physically.

Fortunately it turned out to be a gorgeous day. Although that didn’t change the fact that Julie was swimming in 70 degree weather but that part was her choice so what do you expect with the aforementioned lack of logical reasoning?

Julie before her swim. At least she was smart enough to wear a wet suit.

Can I tell you how hard it is to get a decent picture of someone riding a bike during an event? People are always walking in your shot. Hello people can’t you see I want to take a picture?
