Pigman Sprint Race Report - Earlier in the year I had pegged Pigman as an important race to see how I’ve improved over the last year.  Unfortunately things didn’t really go as planned; I’ll talk about that after a quick recap of the race...

Saturday morning I did a quick run and my dad and I were on the road by 8am. My schedule leading into the race was complicated.  I was averaging about six hours of sleep a night, which is about an hour less than normal and that adds up quickly!  Luckily my dad was driving and I got to setup camp in the back of his car to catch a couple more hours of sleep on the way down (Thanks Stopwatch).

I arrived in Iowa right around noon in time to help out Gear West at the expo; they were pretty tight staffed wrenching at many MN Tri events over the weekend while still having to open the shop (Pretty awesome how much they support our races!).   After the expo I was able to relax a bit before meeting teammates Thad, Bridget and David (photo) for the traditional pre-race dinner at Zio-Johnno’s. Unfortunately Kevin was still commuting and just missed us.
