2008 Jay Benson Tri [05:37 PM] - red

This is my third time doing the Jay Benson Triathlon and I was able to improve my time by about 1 minute and I moved up 20 places from year. I was hoping to have a better time this year but I slacked off on my training preparation for the Benson and I still need to train more for the run. It was pretty windy this year and it seemed like there was always a head wind. I'm happy that my bike time was about the same from last year so I felt like I would have had a better bike time if it was not as windy. Overall, I had a good time competing in the Jay Benson and I'm sure I will be doing it again next year.

2007 Record Challenge Time Trial [04:39 PM] - red

On Sunday, September 2, I raced in the Paula Higgins Memorial Record Challenge Time Trial in Moriarty, NM. The time trial race is 40K and is an out and back course. This year's weather was much better than last years. The skies were clear and there was a slight breeze. I felt a lot better on the bike this time around and was able to beat my time by almost 4 minutes. I hope to get under the 1 hour mark next year. Final results listed below.

Socorro Chile Harvest Triathlon [10:19 AM] - red

I finally got around to doing my second triathlon this year. Unfortunately, I did not work on my running at all until last week. One of these years, I will actually work on my running so that I can consistently run around 7 minute miles. I guess I can work on that this off-season. This was my first time doing the Socorro Chile Harvest Triathlon. The swim portion of the race was only 300 yards so this was a very quick swim. I did very well but my timing chip did not record my swim time or my first transitions time which kind of sucks. I was surprised that the bike portion of the race had a decent amount of climbing involved, which through me off since I was expecting the ride to be more flat. I totally spaced to put my bike computer on so I did not get the course profile or vertical profile. The run section was my downfall. I just did not have the strength in my legs to go at a faster pace. This is the one thing I really need to focus on next year. Hopefully, I will commit more training time to this discipline. The race was very well organized and I had a great time.

TP to TA Road Race [05:23 PM] - red

The TP to TA Road Race takes place across from Hopewell Lake on US 64 in the Brazos Mountains of Northern New Mexico. The C course is a single out-and-back of 28 miles that includes ~2800ft of climbing. This was a pretty fast race and I was able to stay with the main group until we got to mile 24 of the race. The last 3-4 miles was the major climb of the race and the main group got broken up quickly due to the grade of the hill. I was able to hold a solid pace up the hill and finished in 12th place.

2007 Iron Horse Classic [08:20 PM] - red

On May 26th, I rode in the 36th annual Iron Horse Bicycle Classic. The race is from Durango to Silverton and is a little over 47 miles long where you scale two almost 11,000 foot mountain passes (Coal Bank Summit 10650ft & Molas Summit 10900ft) and you climb about 5700 vertical feet. I was hoping that I could improve upon my time from last year but I ended up about 1 minute slower than last year and did not make it under the 3 hour mark. Maybe next year. I did however finish a lot higher than I did last year so I feel like I did better overall.
