Run
Comments: Whatever the actual distance 2.9, 2.98, or 3.1 miles, I did a first today. I ran sub 10 minute miles in a long run. I've done single miles in the high 8's and done 400 meter repeats in what would amount to high 7's but in the last 2 1/4 years I've been training for triathlons I have not run a long run or an event at sub 10 minute pace until today. It really helped that everyone started the run at the same time. At first I tended to try to keep up with the pack during the flatter run around the lake and then when I ended up running with people that run my pace I was able to use them to push myself to catch them or stay in front of them. Usually during a tri you end up running among better runners that leave you behind because the persons that have the same pace as you are scattered in the field depending on their swim, bike, and transitions. What would you do differently?: I think I need to refocus on running now that I've run sub 10 pace and get my pace down as far as I can get it. Post race
Warm down: It was cool enough to cool everyone down. What limited your ability to perform faster: I did as well as I had hoped to do in the run. I just wish we could have done the run at the end of the full event. Event comments: I do think that Blue Sky Sports should give everyone a break on one other event to make up for the situation. I know they can't help the weather but at the end of the run conditions were much better and if they had planned it out we could have started around 10 and done the whole event Last updated: 2005-04-17 12:00 AM

Loaded up the night before and got up at 3:30 to get ready and left the house at 4:15. I got a great parking space near the transition area.
