NSQ and I traveled to to scenic Marlborough, MA for the Lions Spring Sprint Tri this weekend. To call the race a sprint is an understatement. They should really call it the Balls to the Wall, Taste Blood the Whole Way and If You Want to Win You Should Also Plan to Dry Heave Tri. It starts with a 250 yard pool swim, snaking from lane to lane. Then it's a rolling 9.3 mile ride and 3.2 mile run. he race brings out a lot of first timers, but also some high quality talent.
In addition to NSQ, I also roped my sister Rachel and her husband Tony into joining us. (Do the Canes know how to party or what?) NSQ had a real strong race and won by almost three minutes against some quality competition. I managed to win a much needed pair of shoes in the post-race raffle, and go home with the race winner, so it was a good day all around.
