Pumpkinman Triathlon (Vegas Baby!) Race Report

Tri # 19 for 2008 complete. This race was a helluva challenge and some of the guys that had done full course Ironman races said this race was more difficult than some of the full courses. The bike had multiple, BRUTAL climbs up and around mountain hills and finished with a 6 mile, 8% grade climb, straight up, with no breaks at all, out of the valley to T2. It was rediculous. Top speed up that final hill? 3mph! I struggled, but completed it and gained my club a point as we took home the Club National Championship for Division V.

Cheers!

Congrats Chad. Job well done,

By the way, here's a blog from the "fitchick" on bicycle.com who just completed the Ironman. Blow by blow details of her preparation up to and including the big day in Hawaii which I'm sure you know was earlier this month.

Fascinating read I must say. See is a big-time STUD!

That was an awesome read Boner. Thanks for posting that. She pretty much summed up the 'experience' of Kona and I hope to be posting my experience of that event some 351 days from now. :)
