Rick Friesen...one of the newest 3SF athletes just recently completed his first tri in Colorado. Here's a quick report of his race. Great job Rick! "Big race yesterday...it was awesome. Lots of fun. Race got off to a pretty good start. The first leg of the swim was right into the sun, it was hard to sight, and I was pretty winded after a couple minutes. I took a deep breath and calmed down and once I got around the first buoy, I got in a nice rhythm and the rest of the swim went pretty well. I was out of the water in less than 18 minutes, which I was happy about. It was a little slower than I usually swim that distance, but in open water, at altitude and the fact that I probably added about 100m by not swimming in a straight line, so I was really happy with that. After the swim, I was definitely tired, but excited to get on the bike. It took a little while to get going, but after a while, I felt pretty strong. Then came the run. Miles 1 and 3 sucked ass, but mile 2 was pretty good. But even though it was physically and mentally tough, it was so much fun, and I was really proud of how well I did. I'm really excited to work hard to get better for next time."
