Spudman 2009

Wasn’t planning on doing the spudman even though I had registered for it. I had hurt my back playing basketball the 6 days before to the point where I couldn’t hardly walk and then I got flu sick 3 days before and was thinking in my head that I absolutely did not want to race in those conditions.

I ended up feeling pretty decent Friday but still had ZERO intention of racing so I worked on my house all day long and got toasted by the sun. That evening my brother called and convinced me to do the race. So I did it and actually felt pretty good. I am SO glad I did it. It was the first race where I ran the entire thing. I did have some pretty good cramping due to the fact that I haven’t practiced a brick once this year, but it was still a very good race.

I averaged 18.9 on the bike and 8:47 minute miles. I was happy with those numbers.

I even got third place in my divsion (clydesdale men)!
