The best matchup of the weekend is Byrnes-Kennett.
Black Diamond Half Ironman Saturday morn @ 0900 at Nolte State Park.
Last year Kennett destroyed the 50-54 year old division by 22 minutes. I was recovering from Iron Canada. My plan tomorrow is to sneak up on him and make him earn the victory.
| Swim | Transition 1 | Cycle | Transition 2 | Run | Total | |
| 2011 Byrnes | 30:42 | 3:12 | 2:42:54(road bike) | 1:52 | 1:40:09 | 4:58:49 |
| 2012 Kettering | 33:37 | 3:12 | 2:39:32 | 1:20 | 1:39:51 | 4:57:33 |
I’m fit, but not as fit as 24 months ago. Unlike the run up to Canada, I’ve missed workouts. I feel undertrained and it’s going to be unseasonably warm (70s), but I will empty the tank and report back in case no one from SportsCenter shows.
Postscript—I got spanked.
