The first annual taintman went off this a.m. Pretty darn good weather, bit cool- slight headwind.
Five buddies going at it pretty tough over .7m swim, 52 mile bike, 9.6 mile run
Results are as follows
(1)- Joe Deighan- Team Mongo 3:43
(2)- Jack Deegan- Team Taint 3:55 (no relation to joe, brother from another mother)
(3)- Andrew Bowman- Team Taint 3:56
(4)- Billy Janelle- Team Taint 3:57
(5)- Greg Benjamin- Team Taint - finished strong swim and bike- but called off run course to attend to 8 day old. True tough guy award as I do not think he has slept since young Cal and his lungs arrived
The results are accurate, with the exception of smoking joe, it came down to a classic last mile sufferfest.
Great first time race. Old buddies going at pretty hard. Put this on your must do list for next year. I may have to up the race fee by a buck- $11, to account for some left over t-shirts (couple of no shows)
See you all next year- watch OLN tonight- highlights at 3:45 a.m. Also, there may be some coverage of the race on ESPN des portes- but not sure as I could not break the language barrier with the camera man. Also, if anyone left anything in the transition area, it probably threw it out.
