It was a beautiful Colorado Springs morning when we gathered up at the Field House on the Air Force Academy for our weekly bike run brick. Emily, Sarah, Jason, Adam and myself, led by our gallant ride leader Roger, set out at 7,295 feet elevation, looking for a maximum of 7,440, at about mile 12. We have done this course many times before in preparation for the falcongroundspeedtriathlon.com event.

As we approach 4 weeks pre-race to the State Games Triathlon, the purpose and goal of the class, personal best times were turned in by everyone! Only coach went over one hour, and Adam blew all our socks off with a 44; his AFA Tri bike had been 47 minutes.

As well, PRs were enjoyed by everyone on the 5K run; Adam turned in a 23 to his nearly 25, at the triathlon. As 7 weeks have passed since that time, everyone can be extremely pleased at their ongoing progress, with benchmarks providing data proof.

Great job everyone!

Today, June 29th, we will be competing at the Aquaman Aquathlon at Cherry Creek State Park. 750 yd swim, 5K run. Looking for some podium action!!
