Road Trip

Well we are off on our road trip and 950 miles later we made it to Texas to visit with my family. Mabel made it here okay as well, but a little tired from the trip. Just found out that several of Team Hendryx athletes did real well in the Baldwin Park Sprint Triathlon.

Results: Baldwin Park Triathlon

Epic Challenge Participants
Mandy McLane 1st place overall (Awesome job without any transition work)
Ralph Hopkins 3rd place in the 50-54
Telethe Wery 6th place in the 45-49
Roman Gonzalez 5th in the 35-39

Scott Kissling 11th in the 40-44

Way to go. Look for these athletes at Buttar races.

Training groups

Well all our training groups are doing great. This past Saturday we had large group doing an open water swim and bike workout. Afterwards, they stopped by the house for some pancakes. Even the old dog "Mabel" enjoyed herself.

New ride

Well after waiting all this time for my new ride, I will have to wait some more. I took the bike out for a spin on Saturday and noticed a little problem with the headset. Now Eric from Cyfac is sending a new headset to see if that is the problem. It doesn't look like I will be taking the new bike to Colorado for the summer. Hopefully the old Specialized will hold up for the summer.

Congrates to Stacey, Owner of Fleet Feet Sports Orlando

Congratulations to Stacey Bartos with her 4th place overall in the women's 40-44 age group. After taking two years off from doing any marathon training, Stacey was able to complete all her training without any injuries. Stacey and I spoke on Saturday after the race and we have a goal for the Disney Marathon. I told her that we would be there when she achieves her goal.

New Ride

Well after two years of waiting to get a new bike, mine has finally arrived. Now I am waiting on the components to come in to have it put together. Thanks to Epic Cycles USA in Clermont, Florida for helping me. I decided to go with a Cyfac custom bike. Stay tuned for more.
