Narcissism Abounds! 2012 Race Season in Photos

I don’t have photos from all my races this season, but here’s a selection of shots of me in spandex!

San Jose Metro Sprint Duathlon

This was supposed to be a triathlon, but the race organizers realized Lake Almaden is effing nasty the night before the race and cancelled the swim.

On the bike leg of the San Jose Metro Duathlon – Someone get a viagra from my straw!

Second place in the F25-29 age group!

Wildflower Olympic Triathlon

The “Woodstock of Triathlons”

Climbing Lynch Hill and very happy because IM World Champion Chris McCormack just ran past me!

Nearing the end of a long hot 10k run

That ice cold towel feels amazing

Morgan Hill Sprint Triathlon

My calf says I’m 29 and obnoxious

My transition setup

Breathing a sigh of relief that my wetsuit made it over my ass without splitting!

Standard dorky/nervous pre-race double thumbs up shot

I’m somewhere in there…

Starting the run…

… And done!

Silicon Valley Long Course Triathlon

Little did I know that I would end up in the emergency room a couple days later with a nasty toe infection.  Thank you, pristine waters of the Uvas reservoir!  Are you noticing a trend in the water quality of the Bay Area open water swim venues?

Hanging out with vegan ultra man badass, Rich Roll before the race. No Big Deal.

Posing with my bike after the race

Ironman 70.3 Vineman

Ridiculously beautiful course in Sonoma County wine country

Wearing five bags and one aero helmet LIKE A BOSS!

You don’t need to eat meat to have muscles!

Trying to eat while shivering is no small feat

Let’s do this!

Bringing the T1 bag of wet nastyness to The BF for transport to the finish

Looking fly in my aero helmet, trying to figure out where the mount line is

Finishing the run!

Finis!

Super sexy sweat stain (TMI?)

It’s been fun, can’t wait to do it again in 2013!
