I was just talking to my wife about being surprised nobody had posted about this on ST yet.

Team RWB Rochester / Team First Knight

The rain-shortened IM 70.3 Rochacuse. Surely to be a collectors item medal! I will put mine somewhere safe.

A few years ago the shirts were wrong. They said 1.2 swim 56m run and 13.1m run or something on those lines. They resent correct shirts to everyone.

1.2 mile swim/56 mile run/13.1 mile run? Well, at least my finish time seems about right.

I still have the misprinted shirt. "1.2 mile swim/ 56 mile bike/ 13.1 mile swim." It was that 2nd swim that really destroyed my PR, but it was still nicer than that damn hill. (I didn't even notice the mistake until a new, corrected shirt showed up in the mail without explanation.)

Take a short break from ST and read my blog:

What's puzzling is they have held the 'Cuse race for six years and have never had a race in Rochester... so how in the hell does Rochester even factor into this in anyway to even confuse someone???

Born and raised in Syracuse 'burbs.

Both towns have a Dinosaur BBQ. I'm pretty sure that's where the similarities end, though.

And I was cursing lightning for putting an end to my day 3.4 miles away from the finish line...

Wish I had received that collector medal though...

I still have the "13.1 miles swim" shirt from K-Swiss (very nice grey shirt with a big hot air balloon on it)

Only fools never change their minds and I'll never change my mind about that.

They wanted to improve the medals and Rochester has a better looking skyline.

Got a mysterious brown envelope from "Ashworth Awards" in the mail today. Not sure what I'll do with 2 medals... or 1 for that matter...

Still, glad to see that they've "fixed" it.

New:


Original "Rochester"

So the Carrier Dome... the most prominent and recognizable structure in Syracuse... somehow doesn't make the medal skyline???

Taking a real flier here. FF Boots from Rochester, NY wouldn't happen to be Dave Boutillier, would it? If so, I'm going to throw out two names for you: John Horkheimer and Tom Smith.

Saw Horks father last summer, I think he said John is in Syracuse.

Saw tommy last fall, still lives here in town and his daughter was a crazy fast fourth grader we timed at a race

Tom had way more talent but he never liked to run.

So it is you. Small world. Section V had some insane talent back in the mid to late 80s, both boys and girls.
