Pacific Crest 1/2 Ironman 2007
Bill came out of the water in 29:37 for 14th overall out of 478 racers which looked to me to be 3rd in his wave. I was there cheering with some of the OSU Beavers and watched an excellent crew from Corvallis take many of the top spots. Out on the bike course Bill lost a little time, as I mentioned many times on my blog he has been on the low to no training program while finishing school this year. Still he motored away at it and came in at 2:28:51 for 63rd overall on the bike.
He ran the 13.1 miles in 1:50:16 which made him 48th overall with a total time of 4:53:00. I have been silenced.
Our friend won the women's race overall and got to take home $1,000 while the rest of the Beaver triathlon club came in well in their divisions. This race isn't easy because of the elevation (4,400) and typically the heat on the run but it's always beautiful in the Bend area and we had a great time. Anyone out there considering a race in the NW, this one is a gem, get it on your calendar, get a rental house in Sunriver and have a great time! I'll post more photos tomorrow, I've got to get back to watching Ironman CDA online!
