We have posted the athlete guide on the website for the Dirty Legs Fall - Rancho Canada.  Click here  Many people are using this as a tuneup for the Morgan Hill Marathon.  Have fun!

We have had to make some changes in the route.  Logistically it was impossible to get ANY fluids at all on the course.  With the recent heat we decided to change the route.  Plus it was very, very difficult.  It is still very difficult :).  It''s also very pretty.  Stop and take a look.

Hey everyone, indoor spin classes start tomorrow evening.  You remember those tough @#$$#@ classes Elliott does.  They start at 6, so be there a little early setting up.

You are welcome to bring your kids in, we are going to setup a movie and some pizza for them (and us). 

I had a great day and performance at Big Kahuna...I went 1st overall against all amateur age group athletes... 3rd overall, including the elite athletes…Stoked!!  My swim split (27:02) was a PR...My Bike split (2:21) was solid and my run split (1:28) was also a PR.  I didn't expect to do this well only because I didn't have this race marked as an "A" race on my calendar since I’ve been focused on training for Ironman Arizona coming up on November 21st.  I didn't even sign up for Big Kahuna until 2 weeks ago.  I haven’t raced since Wild Flower on May 1st, so I was really craving some competition.  I also thought that this would be a good race to execute on my race pace and transitions.  I frequently work on transitions during brick workouts, but it’s not the same as race day.

I must say that I was pumped up for BK mainly because the swim was cancelled last year.  That was supposed to be my first half distance triathlon, so I was extremely bummed when the BK turned into a duathlon.  The weather this year ended up being ideal for going fast.  The water was very calm, which setup for a fast swim.  I must say that I loved the running ocean start.  I attacked the start by diving into the surf and then using the ocean bottom to spring forward about 3 times before I got into my stroke.  I dreaded the run from the beach to the transition area, but it wasn’t as rough on the feet as I expected.

I know many of you are prepping for the Quicksilver Trail run on the 19th.  I thought I would throw this out there since so many of you were at the last Dirty Legs run.  Thanks and let me know how I can continue to spread the word of your run.  Heck I might enter next week.

The third (last) trail run for the summer season is this Sunday at Henry Coe on the Morgan Hill side.  If you are not familar with Henry Coe, this is a great run.  Better then most.  Tons of Single track to finish on.  Don't miss it.
