Going into this race, I def had higher expectations based on the top 3 times last yr. I think this yr more than last yr, the avg swim time for the top woman were slower which was better for me since I am weaker in swimming myself... I started out in Wave 4 which is where most of the woman started, but I shoulda asked Joe permission to start in Wave 1. It woulda given me such a lead out of the water... uh, its alright though... When u know the race directors you have a lot of power and I didnt use my power this time lol.
So the distances were 1/4 swim, 12 bike, and 5k run. My org goal was under 10 for the swim, 30 flat for the bike, and under 21 for the run.
What I actually did was a little off... But I didnt leave this race w ANY regrets which is good. My swim was a little slow, but not too bad, bike was strong which I expected, and run was eh, high 21, wish I coulda broke 21 mins for the 5k this race.. I know I am capable of it, its all about how dizzy or nasiated I feel by the end of the race.
Bike course was potholicious so I had to slow myself down to avoid crashes which took a couple mins off my bike tt.
here are some photos from the racE:
Big applause from this side of the glass.
