Hey folks, New guy Todd Jones here with a race report I posted to my online journal.
I really enjoyed seeing the other Heatsters out there and being a part of the fun!
I'll be present for the Griskus sprint, the Providence Amica, Timberman and Lake Compounce Sprint. See ya there!

Here goes a report for the Pat Griskus Olympic Triathlon in Middlebury CT.

The start of the race was in perfect weather conditions. Mild temps 75-80 and sunny with just a touch of...

I had to miss the Olympic Griskus this year but signed up for the July sprint.

Great turnout by HEAT. Hopefully we can continue a strong showing this Saturday at Shelton.

Here are the HEATSTERS I saw in the results:
Wolfgang (3rd overall), John Anthony (fastest run), Mark Flynn, Gary Griffen, Rob Duguay, Anthony Lombardi, Rafael Martinez, Kathryn Floodquist (3rd AG), Shawn Desjardins, Kim Sass (2dn AG), Bill Lombardi, Donna Cannon, Diana Cohen.

Wow--great race everyone! Rob, your writeups are rivaling the Raf reports (but his cover 3 days). Great reading!

YEAH....YEAH............YEEEAAAAAAH !
I'm back on course!
Ian (2nd place) and I came out of the water at the same time and startet the bike.
He almost went the wrong way at the "detour" sign at the beginning of the bike..
I did study the results from last year and knew that Chris Thomas (1st place) is returning.
I was hoping i maybe could swim 2min faster...

Yes I share the sentiment that the swim was long. Everyone I heard talking about it felt that it was long.
I felt I swam fairly straight and still ended up with an out of the water time similar to my time at Nutmeg 1/2 last year.
I noticed quite a few HEATsters during the run.
How many of us where there?????
I finished 50th overall and 11 th in AG.
And yes I suffered on the hill on the run especially the second time up it.
Congrats to everyone who raced!

Living up to my name.....

Swim was long and either 1) everyone but me was swimming in zig zags or 2) I swam an extra 1/4 mile. I think we know where the truth lies. Truth is...I've been in water once (last week at West Hill) since Sept, so my 31 min wasn't too bad. If you don't have a VASA erg, its an unbelievable tool for a time strapped aging triathlete or for anyone who can't get to the pool alot. Just doesn't help your sighting!!

Bike - just...

I guess I'll do the honors here. Got there around 6:00 AM on Saturday with my father. Not sure if it actually did sell out but there were a good deal of people there. In any case, the water was a beautiful 75 degrees. The weather was great, very mild. We took off pretty much on time, with three waves, Men 39 and under, Men 40 and over, and all Women. Needless to say, I had a borderline awful swim, 37 minutes, although I think the shared sentiment was that it was a bit over a mile. I was...

I saw a few of the HEAT members results at GRISKUS on Sat. Looks like Wolfgang finally got back on track with a solid 3rd place finish (CONGRATS!!!). I also saw Raf. did very well, with a killer bike split. I hope his ankle and knee are feeling better. Not sure what happened to Dave Carbone as I was only able to find a swim split for him. Hope everythings okay with Dave. I looks like the father/son team of Bill and Tony Lombardi had a great time as well. It looks like Bill can longer stay...
