As many of you know my goal for 2015 was to complete a cycle race. I did with the help of a core group of friends. Well out of the original four only two made it for the 2016 running. So Brandon and myself headed to Dubai to best our previous times. We loaded up and flew down.
Keep in mind this was only 6 days after the IM70.3 Bahrain effort. So you could argue that we were not in top form, or were we?
It was another chilly morning just like 2015 but Brandon and myself came ready with arm warmers. for the record you do not need them after 30 min. It warms up quickly when you are on the road. As always the roads were open and plenty of volunteers to help with traffic and spectators!
Before we knew it we were off and racing! Brandon and I are on the left side of this photo. We showed up early that day and had plenty of time to get set up and collect all our gear. That was a smart decision since we both were still recovering from the triathlon.
Here is a great action shot from the event.
I knocked off a full 30 minutes from 2015! I was very happy with my effort, but where was Brandon hiding. He is a much faster cyclist and was somewhere at the finish line.

Found him! He also knocked up a huge chunk of time. 2017 is shaping up to be the fastest one for us yet! ....until the next adventure.
