10/22/2011: Great Floridian Inter-mediate Distance Triathlon (1.2 mi swim, 38 mi bike and 9.3 mi run) - 3:32:55 for 3rd Overall. The Great Floridian distance festival included the Ultra Distance, Inter-mediate Distance, Super Sprint and even a stand alone 15K run. There were only about 100 start-ers in the intermediate race which gave me the opportunity to make the overall podium despite my relatively advanced age. The Ultra and Intermediate distances both included the steep climb over Sugarloaf Mountain so this was not an easy course. It was 51 de-grees when transition opened, and the water was a nice 71 so it actually felt good getting wet. It was still cold out after the swim so the first 10 miles on the bike was pretty brisk. After that it was time to get down to business. If you've raced at Clermont before, the run followed the standard route on the bike path...flat at first, then climb-ing and rolling with some steep pitches as you near the turn-around. With the small field there was only one wave. I came out of

the water about 15th or so, then had the best bike leg of the field and came into T2 tied for 2nd with a young man from Jax. I beat him out of T2 but he passed me quickly at only 1/2 mile into the run. At the first turn around I could tell that the first two young ladies were moving fast, and I had to work very hard to keep from getting chicked. I held off the first woman by a mere 13 seconds. Clermont is where you need to go if you want a chal-lenging course; there's nothing in Tampa that compares to the hills over there. And if you are work-ing your way up the distance lad-der, the intermediate distance at the Great Floridian is a great way to bridge the gap from an olympic to the half-ironman. A View from Pau Hough

Hi Mark,

The Marine Corps marathon in my opinion was the most organized marathon of the 17 I have had the pleasure of running. I was so proud of the women and men of our US Marines that lined the course being sure we had everything we needed. Watching the three Marines para-chuting before the start was emotional; they landed next to where I was standing. I had tears rolling down my cheeks..

I was running for a 9-year old little girl, Joselyn. I met her in mid May when she was at Moffitt. She came from Iowa to have a procedure that would save her arm from amputation that had been scheduled in a hospital back home in Iowa. I went to see her five days after her procedure, witnessed her ability to move her fingers and arm. Four weeks later she was able to once again play the piano. Joselyn is my hero and has the true spirit of a marathon runner.

Click on the attachment to read about this beau-tiful young girl. I am mailing her my medal and race number along with a note, because Joselyn helped save my life too!

Look for my new book out in the future; “What Not to do in a Marathon!” I will begin writing chapter 17 this week.

Anyhow, had a wonderful time and finished about where I thought I would at this point in my life and lim-ited training. I had to run a mile back to my hotel and made it to the airport in time to catch a flight home on Sun-day at 4:59.

I send a big thank you to my 3 & 1 Galloway group leaders Janet and Beth and Shonna, Maryam, Vicki, Mary and others for allowing me to run with them, they got me to the fin-ish line.

I am ready to take it to the next level, although I never expect to achieve the time of my first marathon from 1992, I feel confident that if I continue to run with the Galloway group and “follow” the training plan, I can be where I was eight or ten years ago.

“One day I will not be able to this. Yesterday was not that day!”

OORAH!!!

Here’s to life!

Welcome to the innuagural RFTB Triathlon. Thank you tri-athletes and volunteers for mak-ing this a successful event. We look forward to next years race. Already we have a long list of quality improvements to make

the race more dynamic and, yes more interesting and fun. First thoughts are a walk the plank swim start. Second thought is ferry athletes out to “Devils Island Barge” and swim to shore.

Bike course will be strung out to reduce bike traffic. There will be two minute penalties to any bike that has cannons attached as this was an unfair advantage to some riders this year. USAT officials are busy as I write this to add this to their rule books.

about the T Shirt review for each triathlon this season. So when it came to RFTB Triahtlon my only criteria was it must have a badass skull on it. Joey Crawford sent us the image and it had so much like-ness to the Team Psych Skull “ EL FUEGO” we said lets do it. So here are a few comments from par-

Triathlete Comments:

I swam. I biked. I ran. I Raced for the Booty…and I got it! "Thanks to all the team members who volunteered at Race for the Booty! It was impressive to see so many volunteers on the bike and run courses, and the cos-tumes were awesome!" What a great season-ending event! You guys definitely put on a fun - and chal-lenging - race. You can check out my re-cap here! It’s obvious to me that I only placed this well because I had a fast T2. But frankly, I don’t care. I had a great race – and right now, going into the off season, that’s all I care about. I know what I need to work on going for-ward, but I’m finishing the season on a high note.

result 1:17:46 RFTB was a great

race. Team Psych members that were in-

volved should be very proud of putting on

a really fun and first class event. In my

15+ years of competing in tri’s it was the

most energetic and supportive group of

volunteers and fans that I remember. I

was told by one volunteer it was partly

due to their effort to keep warm, but it

warmed the hearts of the racers. Great job

by Team Psych and the army of volunteers

that were recruited. Thanks to those that

put in so many hours of volunteer work, it

makes one proud to wear the skull and

crossbones.

Plus, there was a Pirate handing out awards. I may or may not have had “a moment” with the Pirate…I al-ready can’t wait until next year’s event!

Miami Ironman 70.3 Time: 6:15:46 Brutal conditions. Lots of rain. Strong current on the swim. 25+ mph winds on wet roads. It was a blast! Pro Woman race winner Leanda Cave said they were the toughest conditions she's raced in all year, and that the

bike conditions frightened her. Quite a statment coming from someone who did Kona 3 weeks ago.

A message from the co founders

I just want to give the season a review of our Give Back efforts by Team

Psych. It starts with a phrase “business as usual”. What is business as usual

for the team is that every new member that joins begins the Give Back emp-

nassis of the team. Every time a member re-news their membership they re-

peat the Give Back. Five dollars of every new and re-newal membership

has gone to our charity endeavors.

Soldier Ride: Our membership began the season by volunteering for the

innagural Soldier Ride of Tampa Bay. The ride through Tampa was made

safer with the Ride Marshall efforts by Team Members. Nearly two hun-

dred riders inclucing veterans from Iraq and Afganistan rode with Team

Psych watching their backs.

Tornado Relief: When tragedy and folks from ___ were devastated by tor-

nados, Team Psych teamed up with surrounding teams from the __ area.

We sent funds and goods which were deliverd to families in the wind rav-

aged area.

Youth Triathlon Series: We covered the Fish Hawk, Bob Sierra, and Palm

Harbor events. One hundred-fifty to two hundred kids at each event were

covered on the bike course by our volunteers. Crying children, broken

chains, spills on the course are our specialty. We gave away three hundred

water bottles at these events.

Triathlon Camps Sponsorships were awarded to children whose family

means would not have provided them a place at the several week long ath-

letic programs. The entry fee to the YTS event at Bob Sierra YMCA was

covered by Team Psych. The kids in the camp were given team psych t-

shirts, water bottles, tattoos, and bike decals. Special thanks to Steve &

Laura Toll and ISM, Chris Bulnes / Bulnes & Buckheimer, and to Kieth &

Mary Colini.

Cystic Fibrosis Ride: To date four hundred etghty-five dollars raised for

the Ride for Life.

Race for the Booty Triathlon: What can be said? Our first triathlon event

was attended by athletes and served as a great platform for our charities.

We raised —-dollars and shared the proceeds with Cystic Fibrosis, Succes 4

Kids & Families, and the James A. Haley Veteran’s Hospital Breast Clinic.
