Well I tried it again, this time up near Oregon, Ohio at the Maumee Bay Triathlon & Duathlon. Another perfect day. The event started out at 8:00 AM sharp. I started out with the 5K run again. I ran a good pace time at 22:56, then jumped on the bike. This time a 40k ride. That's 24.85 miles...another ok time at 1:16:24...thats fast for me, plus a longer ride. The last part or 10K run was a killer. The left knee hurt bad on the outside again! almost to the point I thought about dropping out. (couldn"t do that). I had to stop several times...I couldn't hardly put weight on it....I really s_cks because I wasn't even tired! I could have had a great time. Oh well. I finished the 10K at 1:06:25 giving be a total of 2hrs. 49 minutes and 21 seconds.....This was my 2nd Oly. Dauthlon in 2wks....I think I need a break...
Oh yes, forgot to tell you the last thing that happened to end this story. I was driving home with my wife in the New Prius, had the bike in the back when all the sudden what sounded like a gun went off. I pulled over and cleared my ringing ears and found that the rear tire on the bike had blown while just laying there. The only good thing I can say is at least it happened there and not during the 24.85 mile ride. Lucky me.
Still happy with all considering. I got a 2nd place award for my age bracket.
