My second tri is in the books....

I did the Sprint race at the Macon, Ga. Rock 'N Roll Triathlon. TONS of fun! No nerves this time around. The race was a blast. I'll post the detailed RR when the times are available. My first tri I was 11/12 AG...this time the initial results had me 15/26....MOVIN' UP BABY!!!! lol....

The best part of the day (yes, even better than my own finish) was watching the finishers of the HIM....that was so great to watch. Very inspiring. As each one crossed the finish it made me REALLY want to up the training and complete the HIM next year....

My race went as planned. No problems with the swim, which always my biggest concern. Bike was ok....no hill training in Savannah to speak of, so that was a shock to the legs. The run was an out and back...the out was just about all uphill, which after a tough bike leg was painful initially.

Only downside was a 12 yo girl blasting past everyone on the run....a guy next to me said, 'uh uh, not gonna let her do that"....he picked up the pace to match her for all of 20 seconds then fell back...I knew better than to even try! Also, a 64 yo guy blew past me on an uphill portion of the bike. I stepped on it and matched him to the top, caught him on the descent and flat, then he passed me again on the next climb...never to be seen again. That is what I hope to be doing to the younger guys in 22 years!!! That too was great to watch...Humbling, but great at the same time....Full RR to come.....
