C'mon Kirk...it will be fun! That's about all the enticement I needed to add one last race to my 2015 race schedule. Joining a great group of friends and YBCC Racing teammates it was just what I needed as the icing on the cake for a truly remarkable 2015 season....hence...In Your Face! I even had the opportunity to volunteer at the full and half distance races along with my cohort's from YBCC adding to the fun and supportive environment. Thank you Klas and Lisa Kuntze for organizing the team race, activities and all that you do.
Heading to Palm Springs with no pressure--no expectation was a great feeling and came to manifest itself in the most beneficial way on race day. I finished 1st in my age-group and 6th overall with the 2nd fastest Overall bike split, 2nd fastest swim and fastest run split in my AG. Yup...In Your Face!
Since my brother lives in Palm Springs and was able to make it to the race, it was extra special coming across the finish line. I even did my best Usain Bolt (without the cape of course) - You got it...In Your Face!
It's time to change gears once again and shift my focus back to long course racing for IM 70.3 California Oceanside on April 2nd -- it will be here before I know it. Before I do...I'll reveal in this result for just a little longer, after all, this race blog title says it all...you get the picture...In Your Face!
I've decided to keep this summary short and sweet and to the point. I'm feeling thankful, grateful and proud of this season and this season finale effort in Palm Springs. I hope you enjoyed following my 2015 season-long race-capades and it was as much fun to read as it was to write. Stay tuned in 2016 for a new season of racing representing the great Timex brand navigating life as a passionate age-grouper triathlete. Cheers!
