SWBKRUN Mentor Group-"Off Season?" What is that?!! (Page 103)

I AM NOT SURE IF I RACED THIS MORNING OR NOT!   I mean I am tired as he11 and a little sore, but the busterds don't have #131 on the race results.  GO FIGURE.  I know the chip was working because the announcer called out my name when I crossed the first mat coming in to the finish.

Oh well it may be a moral booster to not know how I did.  I had to check my back about 2 to 3 miles into the run and make sure there was not a sign on my back that says PASS ME.  WTF can people really run like that?  I guess I am not a runner, but on the bright side I did pretty good on the swim and bike. 

I felt like I did really well on the swim.  I was not nervous at the start, as it was a TT start and we went off 2 at a time by anticipated swim times.  I don't think that I was really passed by many people, but really have no idea.   Man those bouys were out there, but I knew I could handle it  and felt strong till the end.  (note to self...do not hydrate before the swim, there will be plenty of hydration DURING the swim)

Transition was a joke.  My quick method of getting my socks and shoes off went out the window as soon as i bent over and cramped!  Took off on the bike and felt good the whole way.  Loved passing those rear disks disk bikes on those hills, although the last few miles were down hill and I heard the "buzz" a few times.  I will say that that is the fastest I have ever ridden.  Stayed in the drops most of the time and felt really comfortable.  My HR stayed really high on the bike...150 + which is outrageous for me, and I tried to bring it down the last couple miles, but didn't.

OK the run SUCKED!  nuff said  I know where my focus needs to be the next few months.

Hopefully I will be able to retrieve my data to see my times, but then again maybe not.  But I was thinking about asking for a refund

What are their bib numbers?

Is it just me or is the "profession" thing weird?

I am back from my duathlon and happy to report I was the 2nd female overall and 1st in my AG!  Take away the swim and I am semi competitive!  The bike was a bright spot. I passed so many studs along the way.  Of course, one of them passed me on the last leg of the run, but it was at least eye candy because at that point I was about to pass out .  My ashtma is really becoming an issue.  Gotta figure that out. When my inhaler no longer touches the situation,. it is a problem!
 
I thought of my Team 4 the entire first leg.  I was going up the biggest frickin' hill, barely breathing with asthma in full swing and I thought I gotta get my game on so I kept going.  Way into Z5!   Post race, my Garmin says 3.0m .  Can I still count this for the contest,but add additional time for missing .1m?  The race was called a 5k!

Well enough jabbering.  I am sending good karma to those still racing!
