Pics from Portland Triathlon

August 24th, 2009 | by fredrik.eriksson |

I don’t have time for a race report, but here are some pictures from yesterday, courtesy of Lisa and Jeff. Thanks, guys!

It was a cool feeling to race in a city, and for all you doubters out there: No, I am still not throwing up or showing any signs of E. Coli after swimming in the Willamette.

  • Transition area all set up. Applying to anti-fog to my goggles.
  • Ready to race. And I didn't lose my timing chip this time.
  • Jeff showing off his latest contraption. Genious!
  • My least favorite part of the race, approaching the water.

  • A few seconds before the start.
  • Jeff strategically positioned for some swim shots.
  • Kids will be kids.
  • That's me, closest to the camera. Follow a straight line from the guy in the blue shorts on the dock.
  • A pretty cool scene.
  • Had a great swim and was very happy at this point.

  • Ready to mount. Notice the tri-top, which was on inside out...
  • Start of lap 1 (of 3).
  • Check out Jeff's reflection in the glass on the opposite side of the street.
  • Start of lap 2.

  • Only 10 km of running left.
  • A high-five with Sven. Must have some fun during these races.
  • I hit my stride fairly soon after holding back a bit on the bike.
  • My fan support.
  • Jeff
  • Lisa
  • Interesting contrast. You don't see this when you race in the countryside.
  • Start of the final lap.
  • I used to run across the Hawthorne Bridge all the time when I worked in Portland. This race brought back some old memories (good ones).
  • That water melon tasted really good.
