You Might Feel Like *#$%, But You Look Good!

It's the kick off to triathlon season and one of the greatest races in the Tampa Bay area is the St. Anthony's Triathlon.  This is an olympic distance (164 yard swim, 24.85 mile bike, 6.21 mile run) race down through the downtown and waterfront areas of St. Petersburg.

There are many big names out there who use this race a practice race, including my hero, Miranda Carfrae. Damn she's fast. Hines Ward, former Steeler for the NFL, also made his triathlon debut at this event!

For the first time, I was a spectator for this race on the run portion of the route, at a Cheer Station formed by Running for Brews! This was, hands down, the best way to watch the race. Thank you so much, RFB, for setting this up!

 
Early morning start

Reminding us to just have a laugh!

 
 
 
Did you race this year? How did you do?
