Competed this Sunday in the HI State Team Time Trial Championships. I was on a 4 person team in the mixed category. The team came together at the last minute, and we didn't have the time to train together, so we were aptly named the Slacker HACCers. Despite our lack of specific training, aero equipment, ample warmups and good pre-race rest/diets, we performed extremely well. The day before the race, I hiked Mt. Olympus, ate a giant burrito, drank 4 beers and ate a ton of chicken wings. The female member of our team, Spring, was out until midnight at the Jack Johnson concert. The other Steve showed up just minutes before the race and wasn't warmed up until the last couple of miles.
They didn't offer pre-race prostate exams as this time trial.
Our final time was 1:04:17 for the 40km...somewhere around a 23mph average....good enough for 2nd in the mixed category. Unfortunately the race wasn't on a closed course and we came to nearly a complete stop just when we were putting the hammer down on the return leg. That caused Jeff to pop off the back, and severely disrupted our momentum. So that's our excuse for not winning...

who took the last picture? the action shot... did that girl ever email me back after I sent her the picture of her boyfriend? ...he's an army doctor at Tripler, I was hoping to make a friend that day. I've had good luck with Army doctors, they're good people. where's Keith these days? has he dropped off your blog?
