So much to talk about!!!
So much to talk about this morning... How about starting with Scott Bauh's grand entry last night into the SUB FOUR MINUTE MILE CLUB!!!! In front of a huge crowd at Chico State, he finished the mile in 3 minutes, 59 seconds, and 81/100. To put this in perspective, after 6 years of training, had I been in that same race, Scott would have had 2 minutes and 30 seconds to shake hands and sign autographs before I would have made it across the finish line.
What an awesome performance!!!
Next weekend, Saturday, August 19 is the North Forebay Triathlon. This is a great kayak, run, mountain bike event, put on by Bob Hastings, that helps support Oroville Athletics programs. All the details are here.
In just two weeks, on April 27th, the always AWESOME Chico Velo Wildflower ride happens. With a 15, 30, 60 and 100 mile option, there is something for everyone this year!!! I will be doing the 100 mile option this year, my wife was planning on doing the 30 mile ride (her first time in an organized ride) but and unfortunate close encounter with a "BOLLARD" of all things, on the Cohassett bike path this weekedn has dashed those plans. More on that story later.... All the ride details are here.
In just 4 weeks, on May 10th, the City of Gold Triathlon will be held. If you have ever wanted to watch or participate in a sprint distance (short) triathlon, this is the one. Just enough hills to challenge even the most accomplished biker and runner, but short enough distances that it does not take a huge training committment to finish. Get all the details here.
In just 14 short weeks, I'll be loading up and heading to Sonoma County... For the Vinemen 1/2 Iron Triathlon. This will be my second year doing this race, and I hope to bring my time in under 6 hours this year. All the details are here.
Stay safe, train smart, and keep up the good fight!!!
