From the Colonial Half Marathon -- My first try at the distance...here you can see I'm leaning into the last corner on the course - a 90 degree right-hander on the sidewalk(!) into the William and Mary Arena. I finished in 2:00:40...just missing my sub-2:00 goal.

2, 1996 - Fairmount Park 1/2 Ironman, Philadelphia, PA
Here it is. This is the Genesis of all you've read, seen, and heard about between Eric Weiss and I...it all started with a random meeting of two guys struggling to finish the run at The Fairmount Park Half Ironman. I didn't catch his name, he was just some skinny guy from Pittsburgh...but we plodded along for the better part of 7 miles just trying to finish. Little did we know that this was only the start! (Yes - This is just a proof - I waited too long to order the real picture! If you can't tell, Eric is on the left...)

September 7, 1996 -- New England Triathlon Festival A cool sequence from the Sunapee Long Course Race - I can't tell if I'm wincing or smiling in that last one...but I like I my moods change as the day wears on. This was a weird race: 1 Mile Swim, 44 Mile Bike, 9 Mile Run. |

May 17, 1997 -- The Columbia Triathlon This is just out of T2, headed down the short downhill stretch before the switchback of doom - a 160 degree switchback up a 12% grade path. I'm not really sure what I was thinking about or looking at, but I remember that the woman to my left was desperately looking for a place to, ahem, "go." |
