New friends and fast triathletes

We spend this morning in DC by following the Dextro Energy Triathlon. Men's and women's elite fields were full of fast runners. Best men ran 10k in 30.26 and women 34.24. They were flying after some swimming and some more biking.

After returning home I started to hesitate that should I or should I not to run at all due to yesterday's downward spiral. But after watching those trimmed athletes flying by, it wasn't so difficult hit the trails. Seth came along to run at Greenbelt Park. We did an easy 6.2 miler. I got new friends, four ticks that is. However, even if our friendship was really close, it was relatively short. In all this week was 61 miles.

The winner Brownlee is a former runner. For example, he placed the second in the Nationals (junior-XC) last year. But there is no proper fundings for such a T&F-talents in Britain, so he decided to switch to triathlon. Adam Bowden (8.28 steeples) made the same decision after he failed to manage to the Olympics last summer... No wonder that TOP triathletes run so fast... Well, those guys trains a lot too :)
