I prepair myself so hard for hot weather races, and cant get one! :) It was the 3rd race in a row in 10-15 degree and heavy rain. It was no problem again, being honest didnt event think about it during race. Only in moments on roads, when couldnt see anything from dirty water. Was again about to practice with FFWD disc. Man! It was awesome. Very hilly and tehcnical bike course, added up with tons of water and cloudy, rainy weather. It was working fantastic. 6 lap biking, and all laps started with a "wall" like uphill, u-turn at the bottom. Number lap 4 descided to put the hammer down and see how strong I can ride up on the hill. Well... droped everyone, and rode another 1,5ish lap alon in front. Originally we were 9-10 leading the field, than attacked, and we mounted off our bikes only 6 of us.
Another good chance came to practice my running "stuff" and really started to run. Wasnt afraid of running on 3rd spot for a while. Than hold 4th untill 8ish km mark. And finished 5th, 2ish minutes down on the winner. One of my best runs, still to go! Wont lay back, rather focus harder and keep improving.
Great Half IM National champs is the next main goal. It s on 11th of July. Hope it will be very hot and more windy. Also hope it will be a fair game, and non-drafting will mean non-drafting! :)

Hi Adam!
as promised I wanna send you the link to the Styrian bike-position guru Raimund "Mundl" Pucher (http://www.raimundpucher.at/?start=10). He is THE expert in positioning Athletes on their TT- and Roadbikes. I'm not sure how fit his English is, but just give a try. I'm sure when he watches you on the bike, he will be able to help.
Was a pleasure talking to you again in FF during Thermentriathlon race and congrats to your 2nd place. Good Luck for your future plans!
Cheers and keep groovin'!
