Folsom Sprint Triathlon
Lake Natomas
August 25, 2012
XTERRA Lake Tahoe
Incline Village
Folsom was a good chance to cram a "speed" race in. Trained right through this one so it was short but tough. I went with teammates Doug Ryan and Paul Dimas who did great. Paul got 2nd in his age and Doug just watched and ran some on his own, what a wuss. Actually he was mentaly prepping for XTERRA Lake Tahoe Sport course which he did awesome at for his first tri. He got 2nd in his age and 5th overall. Also got to see Dave from our winery sponsor, his wife and son Conner and a couple of Conners his fellow Lodi HS tri club members. I finished 3rd pro and got to show off my abs on the podium.
XTERRA Lake Tahoe was such a great event this year. Last year I had a broken collarbone so I was hyped to be oing it this year. My swim was extra hard today but had a good bike and OK run. Neilson Powless who's 16 won overall. He's gotten fast! Congrats to him. Paul won his age and Doug, well you already know if you read my first paragraph. Cuz why wouldnt you? I finished 3rd overall.
