Racing at the front...

Unless there has been a terrible mistake that rarely happens to me...

I can count in one hand the number of times I've been able to find myself in the front of a race and actually contend...

In the case of triathlons that happened to me two weeks ago at the Morgan's Little Miami Triathlon.

It was a great experience to find myself far enough in front of all who started with me that I only had one guy infront of me to beat.

I gave it everything that I had to try to catch this individual both the Clot Buster polka-dots had to settle for SECOND OVERALL!!!

I still can't believe that I was to pull this one off.  For sure I thought that a later wave there would be someone else that would beat my time. 

Luckily for me that did not happen and thus I get to enjoy, and brag a little, about the fact that I have in fact been a contender in a race that involved many more people than just me.

Don't know if I ever will find myself in a position like that again but I can tell you that I will do everything that I can to hammer out the upcoming swim, bike, and run races searching for that feeling. 

I felt awesome to look back and see no one and to look ahead and see my competition down the road... unfortunately for me I was not able to chip away any more of that lead as pretty much matched our speed and I could not reduce the gap.

So, if you are racing in Ohio this summer be in the look out for the CLOT BUSTER - STOP THE CLOT polka-dots as they may be in contention to continue to stay at the front...

Hey, day dreaming about this cost me nothing...

Thanks for reading,
