Tay was officially a CyMan yesterday. He successfully completed his 2nd Sprint Triathlon. The is could be a trend for him :) Unfortunately, he had to miss one of his favorite Mountain Bike races to participate. So, how did he do? Not too shabby!
Swim (500 meters): 10:57
Transition 1 (first time wearing a wetsuit): 1:09
Bike (14.3 miles): 39:36
Transition 2: 0:51
Run (3.1 miles): 27:42
Total Time: 1:20:12
He ended in the top 3rd of all participants and the top half of his age group.
All in all, a nice effort (Beth thinks he did a GREAT job) although Taylor was a little disappointed in his run time being slower than with his first event. He was happy about the swim time (yay buoyancy). Beth started obsessing about water temps and was convinced that Taylor needed to explore a wetsuit (a freezing hubby catching a cold would be no fun). The sweet wetsuit? Temps were right on the brink, and he decided to wear it...he ended up pleased with the performance using the suit. And, there is a killer deal going on if you are in the market for one.
One of the blogs See Teacher Run has turned us on to is Steve in a Speedo: All Tri's should have such spectating efforts!
Special Congrats to the 2 Julies for the CyMan as well---Great job out there! Taylor has had fun training with them on the swim.

Hahaha....glad you enjoy Steve in a Speedo! That guy has had me laughing since I discovered his blog. You have to check out his favorite past posts...the running poem is the best. :)
Good Job Tay...only 3 more and you can get a tri bike. Hehe.
Yay Taylor! Way to go! I hope we can catch a cycle-cross race this year. Shiloh thinks those are fun.
