This weekend I was in Pacific Grove again for my second attempt at the Pacific Grove Triathlon. I say attempt because I feel like I failed, given how poor my run was. I ran a full 7 minutes slower than last year, although my bike wasn't bad and my swim was ok. My transitions were pretty good because I went without socks again. That was a mistake though because I got some bad blisters by the middle of the run. I had my worst run since the Half-Ironman, and that was twice the distance, so that was horrible.
Here are the times of me and some of my friends. Last year Bo won his age group in the sprint distance, but he hadn't been training much this year, so his time wasn't as great as I'm sure it could have been.
Tango had his best ever run, congrats. He's lost quite a bit of weight, and he's been training really well and his run times have dramatically improved.
Kojo did much better than he expected his training had sucked but he still smoked me.

Oh and Tim said he talked to my old high school classmate Ty Olson a while ago. He needed a neurosurgical consult on something and he knew that Ty was at Columbia doing neurosurgery, so he called him up. I guess Ty is getting married sometime soon so congrats to him.
