It was a chilly morning (55 degrees)and I got to the race early, an hour and a half before to avoid extra stress. Gabe and Kim volunteered at the race.
Everything went very smoothly, and I was ready for a warm up by 7am. I was feeling fairly well on the warm up considering my legs had been feeling tired and sore pretty much all week (besides Saturday).
The swim went fairly well and I was able to gain good position. T1 was fairly fast and I was out on the bike in about 5 or 6 place. I noticed that most of the bikes were out of T1, so I knew I had a lot of time to make up on the bike.
Bike went fairly well,I was pushing really hard and really wanted to gain some ground coming into T2. I did do just that, coming in in 3rd place right with Greta and Nordica close by.
Run started out fast, I was able to pass Greta and Nordica. I was feeling strong on the run and was doing all I can to keep second place at this point. With about 400 to go Stephanie Soffelt passed me. I tried to hang on, but just couldn't. Ended up coming in 3rd overall only 10 sec behind Stephanie.
I was very happy with the results, and once again just loved and enjoyed this race and venue so much. Nicole and all of the volunteering did such an awesome job again!! I really enjoy every bit of this race.
