I was a finish timer so I did not get to take pictures once the action started, but this turned out to be a blessing in disguise as the weather turned from nasty (42 and a light rain) to worse (cooler with a harder rain). I lined our van up next to the finish and had a good, warm, dry place to work.br /For some great pictures and times, go to nccsef.orgbr /a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/TLi3SWHwb4I/AAAAAAAAEyQ/WEVvZvbXJW0/s1600/IMG_8842.JPG”img style=”display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;” src=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/TLi3SWHwb4I/AAAAAAAAEyQ/WEVvZvbXJW0/s400/IMG_8842.JPG” border=”0″ alt=””id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528370068400926594″ //aEveryone started with a 1.3 km prelim and then we sent out 4-5 at a time in heats. We sent the 4 fastest together so that they could practice racing against people of similar speeds. Everyone raced 3 heats. The set up and the idea of the workout were very good, but the weather made it really tough for people to stay warm. It turned out to be a really good workout for learning how to deal with the elements, but it isn’t something that you want to expose yourself to many times. This afternoon people are pooped. It is more from dealing with the elements than from racing 4 sprint laps. br /a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/TLi3C9lFKII/AAAAAAAAEyE/iRR6FhPxkbQ/s1600/IMG_8844.JPG”img style=”display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;” src=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/TLi3C9lFKII/AAAAAAAAEyE/iRR6FhPxkbQ/s400/IMG_8844.JPG” border=”0″ alt=””id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528369804114995330″ //aThe pictures from above are from the start of the prelim, when it was relatively warm and dry.br /a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/TLi2m33MVNI/AAAAAAAAEx8/uGALZ_7XCG0/s1600/IMG_8849.JPG”img style=”display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;” src=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/TLi2m33MVNI/AAAAAAAAEx8/uGALZ_7XCG0/s400/IMG_8849.JPG” border=”0″ alt=””id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528369321544013010″ //aThis started just as we finished the final Heat!
