I decided to do the 3 hour event yesterday. I get there and I was bull shitting with some people and then get ready for the race to begin at 3. After the “go” was announced it was off, running mind you, towards the bike. I get to my bike and I had a crappy start, I lost touch of Scott because I got behind some people and I couldn’t recover fast enough. I managed to hang with Kris for the whole race. After the second lap I managed to catch Scott and then the race was on for the third lap. I let Scott pace me through the majority of the third lap and then during one of the double track sections I attacked and then dropped him. Later in the lap all of a sudden my back got tight and then the pain was shooting down my leg. All the hard work trying to separate myself from Scott as dissolved because I had to stop and stretch it out just so I could finish. Oh well what am I going to do, after the race I talked to a chiropractor and got some stretches that I can do to alleviate the problem in my back in the future.
After the race I went and took some pictures of the rest of the “freaks” out there 
. I have two photos from the event that I would like to show. The photos I took were and experiment with flash and dragging the shutter. I think that the photos were a success.
