Age Group Rank = 14/30

Pre-race routine:

I had a little coffee and some toast. Both kids are sick, and Shef cried when I left. Luckily, I was in the first heat, and I knew I'd be home by 10. I've never done an indoor tri before, so I wasn't sure what to swim in. In the end, I decided to wear my tri shorts because pulling them on wet sounded too hard.

The Y didn't break the result into age groups, so I just figured out my places among all women.

Event warmup:

I did get on a bike to decide what height my seat should be. And I swam a lap. My whole idea of this event was just to see... how pitifully out of shape I actually am. ;)

Swim

12m 18s
600 yards
02m 03s / 100 yards

Comments:

This was my second swim since I got pregnant with Mac. So, two swims in 17 months? I know swimming is supposed to be perfect for pregnant people. But, the idea of it just always made me feel fat and/or nauseous.

Transition 1

01m 3s

Comments:

Fine. I did forget to grab my water bottle, but the volunteer brought it to me.

Bike

32m 17s
10 miles
18.59 mile/hr

Comments:

I tried to stay focused. I think I did a pretty good job. They played loud music, which was nice.

Transition 2

01m 23s

Comments:

I moved my bag to the designated location and headed upstairs to the track. I was feeling pretty tired.

Run

17m 18s
2 miles
08m 39s min/mile

Comments:

Well, I had hoped to be faster. But, I'm pretty out of shape. ;)

This is my slowest avg. pace in a race ever. Well, I guess I did run slower average times in my first two marathons. But not the third. Oh yes, and in one of my half marathons, I did run slower.

I'm happy to know where I am, though, and I do know how to get better.

Post race

Warm down:

I got a bagel and took a shower.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I'm really out of shape. ;)

Event comments:

This was a fun event. I'm going to encourage my husband to do the one in April. Why not?!
