Mountainmen... and Women

Another cold, rainy New England race. In a field stacked with Team Psycho jerseys, the real stars were the Irontom cycling/tri shorts. They performed like champs. Very comfortable, excellent fit, and held up in the wet, sandy conditions. I didn't wear the top because I thought it might be too cold, but after getting going I think I might have been OK with that too.

It was a fun, small event. I think there were about 100 competitors, a few spectators, and not much help. Some elements made me smile, such as the 6 ounce water bottles they handed out on the ride course. The run was challenging, and the ride had a nice 4 mile climb pretty early on. I found this to be a good barometer for my fitness, or lack thereof.
