SUNDAY, SEPT 6, 2009, BRADFORD, ENGLAND
The 7th Vitruvian Man Triathlon is over. Twas a beautiful day in the central United Kingdom, blue skies, green hills, grazing sheep and a thousand triathletes. We stayed near the course in the warm and cozy cottage of Felicity and Ian, two of Simon's former clients. The race went off as perfect as the weather. We are back in Yorkshire taking a quick break from the last two day's non-stop activity (before a run and dinner), so this post is simply an update to show what was the tri-haps in Leichester yesterday. Tomorrow I should have some down time after another trail run along the canal and a visit to York to add some more photos and RCV commentary. I know the VBA will be holding collective breath for that!
PIX from the Vitruvian:

Swim start at Rutland Water.
A portion of the spectacular 50 mile bike course around the lake (twice). Stay tuned for an RCV sample next week.

Looks like a great time over there. I did not know that England had all these races. Here is another one, the 2009 Tough Guy Challenge: http://om.ly/Iqod
Very strong athletic community. Phil in the article is going to try to break the bike course record in Kona next month. That is all I can say about that at this time. Big hush. Cheers.
Maybe I'll go and check that out. Never been there. Here is a review of that book: http://www.slowtwitch.com/Opinion/The_best_running_book_ever__999.html
