Savageman 30.0

Savageman 30.0 was amazing! Garrett County is gorgeous!

Awesome time yesterday. Met this guy in the chute for the swim before the start. He is 21, started doing Ironman's when he was 19! I'm behind, gotta catch up. That being what it is, I beat him yesterday by about 10 minutes.

My time was 2.25, 4 minutes behind numbers 1 and 2 in my age group. I got 3rd in the age group, not too bad, wasn't expecting to place because of the large crowd (several hundred). Number 1 overall was 2 hrs 1 min.

Heading back next year for the 70.0, gotta get a brick in the westernport wall. This triathlon was the coolest one I've been to yet, got a matted illustration instead of a medal, nice. The guy who does the illustrations for the clothing and awards wrote a book called Trizophrenia: inside the minds of triathletes and completed the 30.0 yesterday, he is doing the 70.0 today (making him a "true savage" of 100.00).

Sweet, I'm going to recruit people to race with me next year....
