Gear For Multisport

Saturday, I went north to run a 5k put on by The Villages up in North Lake County.  At GFM (Gear for Multisport), we get a lot of Village residents that come down to visit us, so it was nice to get up there and support the event.

The race started off pretty fast with a couple of high schoolers from the school there going out pretty quick.  The pace soon settled in and I was able to find my pace.  Came thru in 17:38 which is fine for this time of year.  The temp. at race time was 29 so it was a bit chilly.  The race organizers were kind enough to give me a new DVD player for the win & a nice big ole trophy. 

My buddies on the WindermereRoadie forum have been sure giving me a hard time about hitting this race cause it was in a Senior community.  For a good laugh check this out:

I raced the State of Mind Sprint Triathlon today.  I choose the shorter distance just to ease my body back into shape with some speed.  I felt like I had a solid effort and was able to take the overall title placing ahead of some Wisconsin college athletes. 

Thanks to Mel Bernstein for letting me borrow a wheel at the last minute too.

As a huge Nole fan, it was also neat to park next to former FSU punter Keith Cottrell who was also racing the sprint.    

The only good looking T2…all empty.
