Zock Suffers at Timberman Triathlon
Wanderer ace Bob Zock competed in the Timberman
Triathlon (www.timbermantri.com)
on Lake Winnipesauke in New Hampshire on August 17. He filed
the following report.
I am not a swimmer and made the big mistake of thinking
that no swim training was alright - I would just grit it
out, slightly torn rotator cuff and all. Well, the 55 minutes
of inefficient flailing really took its toll.
I think my swim time was 750 out of 770 or something. I
was greeted by a transition area ghost-town nearly devoid
of bicycles, rode a decent bike leg, ran 100 yards of the
run leg and was blindsided by waves of quad-bound lactic
acid that must have been accumulating from the swim-leg
- no doubt the product of my frantic kicking. I ran painful
10 minute + miles for thirteen miles and finished with an
over 6 hour time.
