| Manic Mojos after the race! |
The
Manic Mojos are looking to the future.
Myself and superstar reporters Abbey Roy and Anna Sudar joined forces to compete in the
Greenswell Triathlon as a relay team July 17 (Sunday) at Alum Creek beach in Lewis Center. Anna swam, Abbey rode and I ran. We rocked it, we did the sprint distance in 1:26:38, second place of all relay teams!
Full results here. Results for all Greenswell events that weekend
here.
My part of it was a 5K that I did in 26:36 with awesome splits. I finally learned my lesson about not starting out too fast!

| Timing chip on Anna's foot. |
The race started at 8, we were there at 6:30 and the place was packed. Good thing, there was a lot of preparation on Anna and Abbey's part! There weren't that many relays so we had to figure out the transitions for ourselves, which wasn't bad. Our "baton" was an ankle timing chip that we passed off.

When they called Anna's wave, she dominated! She was out ahead of the pack and dove into the water! We figured she'd be about 25 minutes, my plan was to run a warmup and come back to wait for her. I get my gear together and run a slow mile. What do I see when I'm getting back? A blue bathing suit jumping out of the water and running through the sand into transition. Miss Anna did the .45-mile swim in 17:25 and was one of the first out of the water! (Continued after the jump.)
