Woke-up drove to the race. I was running a little late and didn't get into transition until after 6:00, but I managed to get everything set-up and into the water for the 6:30 start.

Not my greatest effort by far, but it was fun to swim in a race again!

I haven't ridden in at least 2 weeks and it felt great to be on the bike again. I was able to go a lot faster than I though I would be able to and had no problem maintaining speed for the course.

Comments:

A little slow.

Comments:

I felt pretty good on the run. I didn't really push it to hard but it felt great to get off the bike and start running. Got to end the race with an awesome sprint to the finish with some guy, i love to end races like that!
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

No being motivated to train lately.

Event comments:

I had fun day, I haven't been motivated to train lately (I don't know why) so I've just kind been taking a break. I think this race is what I need to get the motivation going again (and it's finally cooling off). Triathlon racing is such a fun sport and this reminded me of that!
