Four States Triathlon

Good time at this morning's Four States Triathlon down at Lake Wright Patman just south of Texarkana. The water was very high, and it rose a foot since yesterday. It was also cold, but the worst part was fighting through all the debris -- twigs, sticks, leaves, etc. I finished in 1:21:12, which is my best time on this course.

Chauncey Deller of Tyler won the triathlon for the second time in a row. He was first out of the water and averaged 24.1 mph on the bike and a 5:27/mile pace on the run. The competitors from Longview took home a lot of the awards. Brady Paddock was the first Texarkana finisher (16th overall) with a time of 1:08:58. Here are a couple of pictures:
