Lan raced Vineman 70.3 on Sunday in Windsor, California
The swim and T1 are 20 miles away, in Guerneville in the heart of the Sonoma Valley wine region.
The 1.2 mile swim is in the Russian River, 4-6 feet deep in most places but only about 12" deep at the turn so athletes had to walk the turn around.
Lans swim wave was the 4th to start, 16 minutes after the pros started their swim. First wave after the pros was the 35-40 yr old women, then 3 waves of 45-49 yr old men.
Pros came out of the water in about 25 minutes.
Craig Alexander and Andy Potts are just two of the pros in this shot.
Here is T1
Lans swim was 38:01, he was 118th in his age group
T1 was 4:10
The bike was on a rolling hills course through wine country.
The pros finished the 56 mile bike in about 2:10.
Here are Craig Alexander and Andy Potts with a couple other pro men heading out on the run and they are after it. These guys were #3, 4 & 5, the other 2 were ahead by 90 seconds.
A short time later Lan finished his bike, in 2:47:18,
an average of 20:08mph.
69th in his age group.
Right about the time he finished his ride the pro men finished their 13.1 mile run;
Andy Potts was the winner with about 3:48.
Lan, almost falling as he heads out on his run.
His T2 time was 6:15
Here are the pro men chatting after the race, still in the finishers chute.
There is Lan in the yellow shirt as he finished his run with a time of 2:17:09,
he was 96th in his age group.
Total race time was 5:52:23
There were 217 men in his age group and 1996 total athletes competed.
Just happy to be done.
