Summertime Blues Sprint Triathlon

Fourth annual race begins at 7:00 AM on August 31, 2008.

Race begins at Freeport RiverPlace

Three challenging bridges!

500 yard open-water swim in the Old Brazos River Harbor

15 mile bike over the Intercoastal Waterway Bridge, into the Village of Quintana, back over the ICW bridge and back to RiverPlace

3 mile run around the Old Brazos River, over Velasco Bridge, over the levee, and back to RiverPlace

Brunch served at RiverPlace for all participants after the race


Well, it was not the top finish that I wanted, but I did make 11th place for my age group. The 500M swim took 12:25.5, then 15-mile bike was 50:00.2, finally the 3.1-mile run was 27:13.7. Finishing some 17:13.2 behind first. Now lets move on to the Nations!
