Up here in Boulder, CO was the 5th Annual 5430 Sprint Triathlon(www.5430sports.com) – a race directed by our very own Timex Team member, Barry Siff.  Boy, he sure does put on a great event!  With over 1100 finishers and many of them doing their first triathlon ever, the race was more than accommodating.  Complete with several hot air balloons, plenty of recycling bins and being very family friendly, the race did not disappoint.  Brian Schaning and myself were the other Timex Team athletes who raced the 1/2 mile swim, 17.2 mile bike and 5k run in and around the Boulder Reservoir.  For me it was a day where I put the speed work to the test and it paid off pretty good considering I raced a 70.3 last weekend.  I finished 7th overall and 1st in my age group winning a Timex watch ironically enough.  Basically, I pushed very hard the entire 1 hour, 11 minutes and 57 seconds of racing and it felt good.  Brian had a great finish winning his age group in 1:11.36 and scoring 5th overall!  Well Done Brian!  Next up is Ironman Buffalo Springs Lake 70.3 on June 28 then a little break in racing.
