Hey guys! Just wanted to thank everyone who joined in on the meet and eats. Thoroughly enjoyed meeting everyone again or for the first time and the banana pancakes at Perry's were excelent!
As Jo stated, Rickshaws VX is a musuem quality piece. It was so clean I could have eaten my breakfast off of any part of it. I don't think it was that clean off the showroom floor! I was in awe!
Larry gets my vote for THE hands down best deal on a VX ever. I let him fill in what I am talking about if he wishes.
And for those of you wondering, the race went great. Almost 10 minutes faster than last year! Had a good swim, rocked the bike averaging 24mph in some strong wind and then had a good run. 2nd in my agegroup and 11th overall (including the pro's)
The best part was when they lapped me on the bike (they got a head start since they were in an earlier wave) they thought I was the leader and all looked over at me to try and figure out who I was so I jumped on there little three man train (they were just barely spaced out the legal distance...no drafting in triathlon) and was cruising along behind them. I looked down at my computer and saw 29mph...decided to back off before I blew up since I still had one lap to go. Then on the run the top pro female caught me at mile 9. I decided to stay with her to help me forget about the pain. Even just staying with her I would beat her since she started 10 minutes ahead of me. 1 mile later she blew and I kept up the pace to the end! She held on the win the womens race.
