Lavaman-April 2007


Lavaman Update:
Well if you haven’t heard yet, my bike broke down at mile 6 during the race, so I was unable to finish. I stood out there for a couple hours waiting for someone to pick me up, and when they finally did and brought me back to the start line, I did the run portion anyway. Thing is, my timing chip was still recording my movements and none of the officials registered me as not completing the race, so I was still recorded as finishing.
Here is my “official” (but highly inaccurate) time:

EVENT TIME RANKING COMMENTS
Swim 1500m 0:38:40 499 out of 632 I beat my swim goal of 40 minutes
1st Transition 0:03:56 326 out of 632 Transitions are important, I passed up 34 people here!
Bike 2:00:39 626 out of 632 Break down
2nd Transition 0:04:44 609 out of 632 Didn’t realize I was being timed so I wasn’t trying
Run 1:30:47 610 out of 632 Didn’t realize I was being timed so I wasn’t trying

I had a great time anyway, and the important thing is you all helped me raise another $1,900 for cancer research! Counting the Tucson ride last November, we have raised $5,200 over the last 9 months!
