Today

Well I can say I found ALL the chains that have been left behind on the roads today. But all in all, I had a good ride. A strange cramping -- which makes no sense at all.

Goose rode with his partner tonight instead of the Delight Night Ride. Things went really well - big goals for Sunday, which are all achievable.

Thursday - I hope to beat the rain and Goose plans on running. \

Fun times at the Goose and Noose nest :)

Recovery

Goose's recovery is good! He raced hard on Saturday, feeling good today. Getting ready for his next race on Sunday. His partner trained while on vacation, he took his bike with him and the family - got in some ride and run time.

Corrected Milton TImes

Just checked the splits for Milton - new (corrected) finish times - Goose beat the next guy by 10+ (not 5) minutes!! He kicked both sides of the a@@ :)

West Milton Triathlon

This is Goose in Leon's C1 Pro Boat (right ride up at this time!)
AJ couldn't decide if it was PoPo making those sounds or the Geese at the pond! Jeff was the first person down the hill into the park. He was thrilled with that.


Ready to roll with Ken Davis.
I think he was happy with his race.

I checked the website late last night and the overall times were available but the splits weren't. Speed Feet had a full house yesterday and they have lots of numbers to sort through. I was surprised that some people cut the cycling course short. Obviously, no way to cut the canoe or run course short. I can't wait to see the splits.

Goose won the solo division by 5 minutes. He had the 4th fastest time out of all 350+ people. The 3 guys that beat him - Jeff Coudron, Brian Barker and Ken Davis were almost untouchable Saturday. Goose was lucky and rode with Ken Davis (Leon Burk's son-in-law). Ken has been running, but hasn't cycled much. The guy is an animal, can't imagine how good he would be if he was able to ride more. Not sure how much time he could have cut off if the boat would have stayed open side up.
Doesn't matter - Goose had a blast. It was just him, nobody to blame and nobody to blame him if things went wrong - and the only thing that really happened was getting caught between 2 wakes and going over. His run - he didn't struggle- had trouble breathing with the wind in his face, and he was glad it was over. His bike, said one half was easy other have was into the wind.
Saw people that we really only see once a year - watched a few people race their first triathlon (and did very well) - Another great Milton Triathlon in the books.

Just Waiting

Just waiting on the official results to post picts and times. Goose was on FIRE today! For the second time - he made a quad not triathlon. Lol details about that later. All I can say he recovered from that and proceeded to kick some ass :)

Ready

Goose hit the river today to work out all the kinks. He now has his belly full of pasta and water. Off to bed for an EARLY rise. Wants to get there early to claim his bike spot, get his number and get into the water. He is ready to roll :)

Fun day tomorrow. Milton is always fun - get to see people that only show up once a year for some fun. Hopefully we get home early enough that Noose can go out for a nice ride.

Twitter

OK - we finally set up a twitter account. Not sure why - lord don't people call each other any more? I was sorta surprised those that had an account. Guess we are old and are slow to catch on - oh well :P
