Vineman 09

Andy and I headed up to Sonoma last weekend for Vineman. For those of you who haven't experienced this race, it's worth it if you get the chance. The swim is in the Russian River, the ride around the vineyards and the run through rolling hills in Windsor. But if you don't like the heat, stay away - it was 101 degrees by noon.
Anyway, as Training Transition is all about you guys, let's get to the details. Andy.
Andy has put in a lot of hard training over the last few months. He was well prepared mentally and physically, all apart from his calf which has been giving him grief since the start of the season. To cut a long story short - great race Andy through to mile 9 of the run when your calf just decided it wasn't going to hold up to the finish line. I know you'll be back though - stronger and more determined than ever next time!
This is the reaction that the photographer waiting in the finshing shoot got when Andy appeared, limping, a little later than expected....
