Kill Kuato

In mid training, lost 10 pounds, seemed to be all pain no gain last three months but now am noticing more efficiency. Did a nice steady 5 hr bike about 80 miles last weekend. Carbon is nice *)

Well sales person mentioned that FELT has not been getting ahold of him and that the only way I can get ahold of FELT is through a FELT dealer..False.

Slowtwitch forums put me in touch with superdave, a top FELT rep.

He started some fires I think and gave me the 2 sales reps my dealer is “dealing with”.

So hopefully I will getting a call soon.

Been slowly getting into swimming at least every other day, and re-aranging sleeping times. bed to 830, up at 5. Heading to Denver, then to Tampa soon.

Last minute sign up a week before this event, had not worked out in over a month due to hunting season. Did ok regardless at a steady pace coming in at 2.18. Great scenery at the base of the Cascade Mountains.

2.10. “The loop”. Been creeping back after 1.5 months rest.

Well, winding up the season…

This was not my strongest Olympic, and my left ball of my foot where the sesamoid footbones are located was screaming bloody murder the night before, my toe tendon was like frozen in pain and I could not flex it.  I leaped through the run and had a crappy time. I asked where my wife was at the end, and she stated, “Well, Arina and I were admiring this 79 yo lady go through the finish line and she said to me, Hey Wen, there is Mark behind her”. 8(

I washumbled yet again, by “kidney man”, a 60 something athlete that donated a kidney to not afamily member but to the wife of a coworker! I shook his hand and wondered why I was whining about my toe.  I also saw the gal who got last place @ chelanman half iron. I waved to her and clapped her on as I was coming into the finish…she was just starting the run.

I may do the apple capitol again, then wind it down..or maybe, if I shoot an Elk this year..another half iron.  Depends on the money though since I want to buy a new bike and am considering a cervelo I saw a fellow triathlete had bought.
