Event warmup:

I haven't been excited to write this recap because it wasn't one of my better showings but I do it to remind myself of the day and what I did right, wrong or other.

I had a long ride to do for IMMT and I had to make a decision. I did the long ride (90 miles) the day before this race because in the scheme of races I'd rather blow this race than my Tuesday night off road series. And that's exactly what I did - see WT #2 race report.

Comments:

I was disappointed with my swim - although apparently EVERYONE said it was a slow swim so I'm not sure how much of it was me vs the conditions. I thought the conditions were fine. It was a diamond shape and it was a little choppy after the first turn but then it smoothed out so no real issues.
What would you do differently?:

I have really started to work on my swim stroke - so we'll see if that helps going forward.

I was tired going into this race - and I knew it but somehow I still expected a miracle. It didn't happen LOL. I rode "OK" for a hilly course but I would have liked to kill it. Next year I suppose.
Transition 2
  • 01m 13s
Run
  • 1h 00m 54s
  • 6.2 miles
  • 09m 49s  min/mile
Comments:

The run is a double out and back and has this nasty hill in it. I don't really mind the ups so much but I haven't really figured out how to make up time going DOWN hills. All things considered I didn't feel too bad on this run.

Event comments:

SO like I said - I made the decision to continue my long course training and suffer the consequences here. I have no doubt I made the right call - but I still would have liked to finish a little faster :)
