Swim
Race
:17 |
0.5 mile swim: 17:16 (160th). Felt I had a pretty good swim, but it was slow. Of course, with the water at 85F, there was no wetsuit to aid my poor technique. For the first time, I was able to draft someone for half the race...and the frequent hands hitting my feet suggested someone was drafting me. (Graph includes HR for entire race). |

:27 - fast transition, especially with no wet suit. |

Tri Bike
Race
:33 |
12.4 mile bike: 32:36 (35th). Solid bike. But I fell over as I was trying to get onto my pedals, losing 5 seconds, blocking a couple people right behind me, and resulting in several nasty abrasions. Then I discovered that I couild shift into my two smallest cogs in back so I could not max out on speed on the downhills. |
|
| Evening |
Transition 2
Race
:01 |
:44 - Slower transition than normal, but I tried a couple new things to guard against the 90+ heat: I grabbed a bag of ice and a frozen water bottle. |

Run
Race
:26 |
5k run: 25:59 (109th). Can we say slow? I fumbled out of the gate as I tried to get ice out of the bag into my hat, dropped my water bottle, then finally stopped to get myself oragnized. After that, it was simply a long slog in high heat. Just couldn't get my legs going. Total time for the triathlon: 1:17:05 (58th overall, 8th in age class). |

Cleanup
|
The afternoon thunderstorms rolled through, blowing over the table on our deck and smashing the glass top. It was two hours of picking up glass afterwork. Oh, and I still feel over-stretched from yesterday's yoga. Bending over to pick up glass isn't helping any.... |
