Guelph Lake

This was more then just a race for me. It was my home town race and I really wanted to win it. But I knew it wasn't going to be easy with Andrew and Connor there. So here was my game plan before the race. I knew Connor was a very strong swimming and he would break away early. But I didn't want to get too far behind because I know he is a very good runner. Then there was Yorke. He lead the 1st 750 and I lead the 2nd half. Now I was a bit afraid of Yorke on the bike because he had been dropping me in workouts. So I made my push right from the get go. It worked and I just kept going. It was my fastest bike split ever. I avg. 41km/h. That is getting up there at Len Gushe's speed. Then came the run. The 1st 5k I was running scared because I didn't know how much a lead I had. And Andrew and Connor are very fast runners. After the turn around and I saw that I had a 2:30 lead, I started to relax and was running much more smooth. By the end of the day I had a new PB on the Guelph Lake course. 2:01 flat. Still not close to my main man Len who went 1:59.42 last year. I'll be racing Peterborough 1/2 ironman next weekend. Lets hope I don't pass out like I did in Muskoka and crash into the finishing poll;)



And on I side note, who keeps trashing talking everyone's blog???? If you have a problem with someone, just keep it to yourself. Everyone has bad races and that's how we learn. Anyways, I'll see everyone at the races.
