Back in October our team, Team Sheeper out of Menlo Park, CA (next to Redwood City), won the National Triathlon Championships for Division II ( 70.3 miles distance)! You can find me at the far left in the photo below (click on it, wait, and when the page refreshes, click on the photo again to see the full-size view) and near the bottom (!) of my age division in this race here.
The generous coach, whom I'm standing next to in the photo, let me,
"cubicle guy" these days (obviously
not the big scorer on the team :) ), hold the trophy for this shot!
Despite the fantastic scenery, it was
a pretty tough bike ride out in that desert with all those hills and
the heat by the end of the day; was 90 for the run. The swim was the
nicest ever, there in calm, warm, shallow Lake Mead (formed by Hoover
Dam).
[this is good] A very handsome and happy group. Kudos from Mrs. Bird
