As everyone knows that I completed the Nation's Triathlon on September 13, 2008, for Team-in-Training which is to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. With everyones donations, I was able to raise $5,355, and our TexasGulf Coast team of 26 was able to raise over $128,000. The TNT group had some 700+ individuals from its 55 chapters raise over $3 million for this one event.

Now back to the IronMan in April, I will be doing this event once again with TNT and have pledged to raise $5,000 for this event. Please view my fundraising page to track all my progress at http://pages.teamintraining.org/txg/lstri09/bmwhite45

Inaugural Event-Rock 'n' Roll San Antonio Marathon

The break is over and train has begun. As I start to train for the 1/2 marathon in San Antonio, which will be held on November 16, 2008, start time will be 7:30 a.m.

Basic course information will be Avg. temp in the mid 60's and mild breeze. Course Profile is somewhat flat, fast, and scenic, with some 70 live bands and 40 cheer teams. Besides having pretty perfect running conditions normally, this is one of the qualifiers for the Boston Marathon.

Well, I figured I might as well post the results of this race!

Bid #12697-Total time of 2 hours, 26 minutes, and 58 seconds, I was done with the 13.1 miles. While, I did still place 8798 out of 17,115 finishers, my race pace was 11:13 minute/mile was somewhat false since I was setting my mom's pace the first 6.1 miles with a time of 1 hour, 20 minutes, then I took off running and covered the other 7 miles with a pace of 9:15 minute/miles.

All on all, the race was so much to enjoy, but no where near the number of bands that was promised! But it was a challenging course!

Competitors in the 2008 Nation's Triathlon will race on a wide mostly flat fast course completely closed to traffic by the officers of the DC Metro. Police and the United States Park Police. The course combines long stretches perfect for the aerobars with turns and twists on the Avenues and Boulevards of downtown Washington DC. On our route we will race right by the White House, Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, National Mall, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Navy Memorial, Kennedy Center, Korean War Memorial, FBI Building, National Archives, National Treasury, Holocaust Memorial and more! It is a thrilling experience!


Well the race is over and now its time to start training again... The Nation's Triathlon was a great experience as I completed the 1.5K swim in 38:46 minutes, the 40K bike in 1:41.01 minutes (Please note that the last 12 miles was completed on a back flat tire... ), then 1:00.1 on the 10K run. Thank you to all the donated as I was able to raise over $5300, to give the LLS.
