LOL, where am I going?

Oh yeah, Pacific Ocean, Diamondhead to Koko Head and back, and around Diamondhead again.

Hmmm, something about tri'ing three things at once.:lmao:

And you thought running was a lot of gear.

Tinman triathlon is in the books.

My clock time was 3:05 and change. I was wave 3, so hoping that means I cracked the 3 hour mark.

Swim was good, bike was good despite pulling an Andy Schleck (threw my chain going up Koko Head Crater), plus riding into a 15 MPH headwind, and run was pretty good as well.

During the run I was talking to a girl from Jacksonville, Florida. We were discussing the 28 degrees and sleet during the WDW marathon. She could believe how nice the weather was today. Overcast for almost the enitre race.

Refueled at Rainbow Drive In on the way home.

The race was FUN as ever. Come out and join me in 2011.

Mahalo to everyone for the well wishes. You were all along for the ride, since there was room to spare with all those missing marbles.

Congratulations Jeff. If you had to pull a Schleck this year it is way better to pull an Andy then a Frank.

Sorry... I've been away from the boards for a while... can you enlighten me on "pulling a Frank"?
