030808. Kicking the season off locally is GenericEvents.com 's Pasadena Triathlon. It's a reverse sprint beginning with one loop around the rose bowl, three on the bike rolling and ending with three laps in a nice warm pool.
There have been questions lately about if Paul or I "ever race" (shocking question!), and so I begin with this pre-race foto, in transition, before we headed off to the run start. Yep, we race & we race hard! ; )
Larry Turkhiemer, one of the club's founders, volunteered his time at this race... pictured here giving his wife a pre-race rub-down. That rub must have been verryyy good, because Laurie kicked BUTT on the run, beating both Paul and I!
Ladies of sporteve.com -- ready to rock the course:
Jordan Woods took top honors at the event - a first place overall. (yeah, he's fast)... His metal was presented by none-other than pro triathlete, Cam Widoff, who is in town from CO, training for a few weeks (he's doing winter training here in LA).
Lynn and Tim Sommer -- This was their first triathlon & can you tell? They LOVED it. I feel there will more outings in their future. Congratulations guys!! 
And, here I am with a star in the LA Tri Club... Miss. Emily Berkin. First in her age group, and likely future pro! We'll see!! Way to go Emily!!
Looking forward to beginning next season in Pasadena '09!
