The day started out gloomy and this was my forth weekend in a row racing. I tried to take it easy all week and only did one bike ride, which felt tough. I was, of course, excited to be racing. I think I am having some sort of crazy racing kick and I can't stop no matter how bad I feel during the race...=)
Swim started out pretty good, no goggle problems anymore. The lake was super weedy though. Got out of the water in 8:09 for 1/4 mile swim. Everyone said the swim was long, but I guess I'll just by the official distance.
Bike was ok. By the time I got out of water the rain had started. The bike was all in the rain. The bike was tough for me, even though the course wasn't too bad. Some rolling hills but nothing too out of the ordinary. I didn't really have it in my legs just like all the other races. The bike has been the toughest aside from the run. I hope I can bounce back and feel strong again on the bike like I have before. But today I just wanted to do my best and not crash with the rain coming down pretty strong. Total bike time: 37:39 13.5 Bike 21.5MPH.
Run: The run actually felt good. My time is still NOT sub 7min but I am getting closer! The run went smoothly and I felt pretty strong on the run despite a tough bike, for me at least. Total run 23:22 7:05 pace, 3.3 miles.
Summary: 3rd Overall for Females, happy with that. Total time: 1:11.22 (broke course record) Legs feeling it for SHO =)
Compression socks worn for the first time in the race, pretty good.
Next up: Possible double header, but most likely just the YW.
