I just finished another triathlon, this time at Sand Hollow just outside St George. I did a new personal best...lol but thats only because Im slow, so its easy to go faster. I didnt find out till the end (the run) but apparently they cancelled the swim for the rest of the athletes after I was in the water. I was told they had to, because the rescue boats were full of people they fished out. I was in the very back of my group, but by the end of the swim passing people. I actually didnt think it was that hard, but I ve been swimming two days a week, atleast a mile. A couple other people, (whle on the run, when you actually say a few words) said that it was the hardest swim they had ever done.......that made me feel even better, as I fely good getting out of the water even. I was pretty fast on the bike, mid pack, got passed and did some passing, probably alittle more of the latter. Crossing cattle gaurds at 50 mph on a 17 lb bike = scary.......and I ride a busa for fun.

I actually thought about not finishing on the run, it sucked, it was a sandy rocky trail about 90% of the way. The sand and then rocks made it real hard on the ankles compared to smooth running. By the end I was coered in that red silt. I finished though, and was faster then my last one in Havasu and feel better afterwards too. It amazes me how much food I can eat the day after an event though. I probably put down 10000 calories in the 24 hrs afterwards.

Next month......I do it again.

Great job, Jon. That sounds like it was very challanging....way to go.

Quite impressive Jon!!! You are a BAMF. I got very very tired just reading about it, except the cattle guard, that woke me up!!!
