But I'm ki...Congrats, that's a great race. But I'm kind of shocked about the organization of it. Drafting in a tri is usually illegal because it is so dangerous with aerobars -- they become a real hazard, visibility is very poor from such a low position, most amateurs don't have the greatest handlings skills in a peleton/pace line anyway, and accidents are that much more hazardous with all those pokey bits. And what's the deal with wetsuits in a pool? I'm kind of shocked that was allowed as well.green lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710702006690038659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-76639158493768156512010-08-24T20:25:39.354+02:002010-08-24T20:25:39.354+02:00Steve Q, now, am I confused or are you recommendin...Steve Q, now, am I confused or are you recommending "Collector" by Here we go Magic? Maybe not, but if so, you really do know my taste since I actually have ALREADY listed that as a running song of the day. If you are recommending the song "Magic Collector" by Here We Go, I feel bad it's so easily confused with the other song.sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-79708757070473528222010-08-24T18:32:12.723+02:002010-08-24T18:32:12.723+02:00Oops!

But that has four syllables, too. I might just have to stick with runner.<br /><br />Ewa, I think the Lorax enjoyed the lasagna anyway and got a bit of nutrition out of the first 3-4 portions :).<br /><br />Steve Q, you had best learn to swim and get a nice road bike before your attempt at top 10 - but SR and I would LOVE to see your attempt at and report of a triathlon. Actually I'm sure you would do quite well.<br /><br />The 6 days run on Bornholm is apparently only held every 2 years so the next is in 2012. The Hammer Trail 50 and 100 mile race on Bornholm 5-6th of May this year may be a race we'll be doing, though - hopefully.<br /><br />mmmonyka, I think it is so cool you found the results. If that is "stalking" I am also guilty of it many times over. I have worked a long time at swimming - started swimming (basically doggy paddle with head above water) in 2004, but really just learned the proper technique this past spring (it was about time).sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-58898012693693568592010-08-24T00:06:26.203+02:002010-08-24T00:06:26.203+02:00I saw your results before you did?!?

I do not know anything about swimming but your run and bike were awesome!<br /><br />It is pretty funny that that woman did not want to draft behind you or rather did not want to let you ride in front of her. But who would complain, right?<br /><br />How did you become such a fast swimmer? If I remember right you took couple lessons to learn the right technique, right? And then you just swam on your own or had practices with your triathlon club? I would like to try triathlon but I am sure I cannot swim that long. I need to start working on that.mmmonykahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09703551248084847150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-21649562088912214942010-08-23T18:21:04.921+02:002010-08-23T18:21:04.921+02:00Oh, and since my Danish is non-existent, are there...Oh, and since my Danish is non-existent, are there 25 people yet signed up for the Bornholm 6 Day race?SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-87577289381201859192010-08-23T17:40:11.724+02:002010-08-23T17:40:11.724+02:00While I'm at it, I'm thinking of making so...While I'm at it, I'm thinking of making something for a race aid station - other than Red Bull and trans-fats, what else has Denmark banned that I should include?SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-60373867853998743852010-08-23T17:16:03.118+02:002010-08-23T17:16:03.118+02:00I ended up watching the St. Paul Triathlon on Sund...I ended up watching the St. Paul Triathlon on Sunday, as it's held on my training route and, between it and road construction, it was impossible to drive anywhere. I was stunned at the variety in gear, from those with spokeless wheels and teardrop helmets to people on street bikes whose manufaturers I'd actually heard of. I was further convinced that a tri is just a bike race, as I was passing leaders in the run while staggering through my own long run.<br /><br />It appears these things are five professionals and 500 weekend warriors. I think I could get a top-10 without training (and be last out of the water), but never be top 5!SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-21762813567481382082010-08-23T15:46:37.151+02:002010-08-23T15:46:37.151+02:00You are just amazing!

Love that you could draft on the bike, that would be my sort of triathlon...you had some fast times, particularly the run (tends to be around 10min slower than just a run for me after a bike and swim!). i prefer the two-piece tri outfits...in a triathlon that distance I never know how well my digestion will work on that day....the thought of peeing down my legs into what could be a blister in my shoe just isn't attractive :) Well done!cherellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13643258879501877022noreply@blogger.com
