Second place

Some of my most authentic moments as an athlete have come at the finish line of an Ironman. On Sunday, November 20th I had one of those moments.

Scenery from the run course

I’ve been thinking a bit this past week about my last race performance in Oceanside and thought I better write about it as I am off to another race this weekend: New Orleans! Wahooooo!

Its been 2 weeks since Ironman Arizona. It was my fastest Ironman to date - 9 hours and 5 minutes. A very satisfying end to my 2010 season.

Calgary 70.3 Race Report- (From Chris Corbin’s Perspective)

I bring a fly rod to every race. I’ve even caught a blue fin trevally on the fly the night before the world championships in Kona. Although some races fish better than others; Calgary and the Bow River is one of the best. I was crushed when this race didn’t show up on Linsey’ s original 2010 race schedule. Luckily, some strategic talk (begging) made Linsey a late entry for the Calgary 70.3. Here’s how it went down:

I have had a few weeks to reflect on my special day at IMCDA.

Unfortunately, I got pretty sick after the race. Last week I took one for the team and got on antibiotics. It was rough. Rather than enjoying myself post-Ironman, I spent the 4th of July laid up in bed. Leading up to the race I had day dreams involving the river, enjoying icy-cold Big Sky Brews in a can, camping, sunshine. None of this really happened :(.

It still doesn’t seem like that’s me - Ironman Coeur D’Alene Champion! I only slept a few hours after the race and when I woke up I had to make sure it was true - looking at the photos from the paper to believe it. I thought just finishing an Ironman was an adrenaline rush. Let me tell you - winning one takes it to another level. In my finish-line interview, I told the crowd it was such an awesome feeling that everyone needed to win one!

Racing in Boise over the weekend was a complete bonus for me.

Early in the season when plotting my race schedule, Boise was at the top of the list. So was Ironman Coeur D’Alene… I guess you could say I love the neighboring state of Idaho. I didn’t want to compromise the Ironman, so I opted to race in Kansas and do the traditional 3-week taper for IMCdA. Kansas came and went, and I was a bit let down with my result. I knew I could kick it up another notch. Post-race in Kansas, Matt Dixon surprised me with a text message with the words *BOISE 70.3* in it and I was grinning from ear-to-ear.
