Thanks to Gary (Red Army) for putting me in touch with Bill Linnerman founder of Missionbay multisport and a rich part of Triathlons childhood.  Bill had some stock that he was selling off which included a 2008 Jamis Xenith T1 that just happened to be in my size…..well I was looking to retire the 10+ year old softride so I jumped at the chance, it was also a supper deal! 

Since my last post I have done lots of racing, training and working.  My brother-in-law got married and my parents came to visit at the same time, lots of fun it was great to see them looking fit and healthy.

On the blog side I have added a new page that displays live video from my phone when I record it and also lets you see where I am in the world…….I get about.

I also have a ton of photos some pushed up to flickr some soon to be posted there.  Due to spam I have had to stop comments being posted.

Its finally started to warm up here in Michigan, the sun is poking its head out from behind the clouds now and then.

Last weekend was my first multisport race of the season, the Steelcase Duathlon hosted in Grand Rapids by 3D.

It was a solid field that turned up which made for a fun and challenging race. I got to race test the team uniform getting a team shout out from the race director. The suit is like a second skin, I love it! My race went well, couple of solid runs with a steady bike, hopefully the next couple of weeks of bike focus and speed/tempo efforts will help beat some solid bike fitness back into my legs.

Team member Greg Howard, tore the course up and ran away with the overall race victory. I was happy to run down a bike TT specialist in the last ½ mile to pick up 4th O’all and my age group win.

Numbers…..

595 Gavin Nunns - 31 M
Run 1: 17:10 (5:32)
T1-0:31
Bike : 3 48:30 23.0
T2-0:23
Run 2: 17:49 (5:45)
Overall Time: 1:24:22

I guess I should not be surprised, if I was in a rain forest I would expext it to rain so being in Michigan I should expect it to be cold crappy and snow in April……

Anyway enough of me being a whiny whimp about weather.  What have I been up to recently?  Training, training and a 1/2 marathon last Sunday.  The race went ok, I was not quite as fast as I hopped to be considering all the running I have done of late.

 13.15 miles - 1:22:08.8 - 6:16 pace

Stay safe u all

The seasons come and go.  Finally I”ve been able to get some bike training outdoors, its still a bit cool but manageable, is it spring yet? it did snow a little last Saturday and was freezing this morning

Training has been going very well today the 100 in 100 challenge is coming to a end and me running is feeling fantastic - 115 runs, 76 hours 32 minutes, 633.61 miles (little over 1000 km).

As if I needed more incentive to run I also got me some shiny new running shoes thanks to a awesome gift card from my parents for my 31st birthday!
