Hey team---its Andy here---Rachel gave me her pass code to post a Blog----uh, oh!!! Anyway, RC-Coach is doing Wildflower 70.3 this weekend and I wnated to send out a big, "We're rooting for you and cheering you on" blog. I told her we would all recognize a moment of silence for her on the beach tomorrow and send her good vibes--karma. She told me just to sing the Kiwi National Anthem which is scary because of my singing voice so I am hoping someone knows the anthem. Go Rachel Go!!!!!!!!! We are all rooting for you and wishing you best results!!!!!!!!
PS: I think I have a Kiwi color speedo---I will wear it in your honor this weekend. HYSTERICAL--I crack myself up.

New Schedule
As the water warms up and the days get longer, the 'new' schedule has begun. Track sessions are held at San Dieguito every Monday night, rides are on Wednesdays and Saturdays and beach runs / ocean swims are every Friday evening. Childcare is available at every session.
OK, the ocean is cold, but not too bad after a few minutes in the water, especially after a run beforehand.
Next race for most is Encinitas on May 18th.
Keep up the good work!

Race results
Well it was another great weekend of racing.
On Saturday, Erin finished her first half ironman (California 70.3) - her second triathlon ever after commencing training less than a year ago, with a 1 and 2 1/2 year old! She even finshed with a sprint (and probably a smile knowing Erin).
Susan set herself a tough goal in the same race - to beat her time of 6 years ago, which gets tougher, I think after a certain age. Anyway, she didn't master it this year, but gave it a good go and will be coming back in 2010 for another go!
Jennifer also raced Oceanside 70.3 - she looked like she was skipping through the run even when I saw her with about 4 miles to go. I'm yet to get the full story.
Mike, Joan, Cathy, Elizabeth and Annamarie did the Carlsbad 5k today. There was a prize on the line which Elizabeth, Patrick and I think Annamarie have won as they went faster in 09 than 08. Cathy did a great time but had not competed in 08. I can see some exciting track sessions this Summer.
I've also had word of a good time by Christy Fritts (22.37) who is aiming to come to our first track session next Monday. Well done Christy.
Oh, and I didn't do too badly! Thanks for all of the support. I just noticed that there were only 4 Americans in the top 10. I had better start training you all up so you can balance up the nationalities a little better!

On the eve of another race weekend......
This time, we have Andy lined up for the Cal Poly race tomorrow, Erin, Susan and Rachel for the Oceanisde 70.3 and Joan, Mike, Elizabeth, Cathy and Patrick for the Carlsbad 5000. A round of colds seems to be trying to slow the team down, but we won't let it get to us!
Good luck everyone.
Let me know if and when you're ready to post your results.
