Pics from Portland Triathlon

Monday, August 24th, 2009

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.
  • Fredrik's photo
  • 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.
  • Fredrik's photo
  • 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.
  • Fredrik's photo
  • 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.

Portland Triathlon

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

Just got home from downtown where I finished this year’s triathlon season by participating in the Portland Triathlon. Had a blast and was happy with my performance, considering the limited focus and dedication since July.

17th overall, and a bronze in my age group.

My personal photography staff (Lisa and Jeff) was on location, so I’ll post some shots later. Jeff even went through the trouble of designing his own double-mounted still+video camera setup! How’s that for good friends?
