Beast of the East (Half Iron Distance)

James Crowe writes: "I PR'ed at my 1/2 IM this weekend (Beast of the East), with a 5:55 overall, which although not fast admittedly, is good for me. The bike course had ~6000 feet elevation gain, and the run was kinda hilly too. I held in there on the run better than I have in the past, a 1:57 run, using some of the form stuff you suggested. The running form thing you worked on with us in Triathlon Level 2 has helped me a lot this year, especially the filming at the track thing."

Florida Ironman 70.3

Ashly Dewberry: 5:18:51 (56/254)
Catherine Williams : 5:46:10 (9/28)

Ashly writes: "Well, it was a great time down there, and what a great experience! Cat had a stellar race! I on the other hand, was not very happy with my performance (5:18:51). I missed my goal by 18:51. On a great note, I'm so proud of Catherine as she really had a smoking race and truly tuffed it out in that Florida heat making a great time!"
