Comments:

Course was a bit long, but this was an AWESOME swim for me! I tucked in behind the big guys and stayed on feet until I hit the sand!

I am shocked as sh*t at this time!

What would you do differently?:

Absolutely Nothing!!!

Transition 1

03m 11s

Comments:

IDK what took so long.

Bike

46m
15 miles
19.57 mile/hr

Comments:

Felt good on the bike. Had a tailwind for some of the out, and a big ol headwind all the way back. Tried to keep cadence high, but there was a few times I just hammered it out.

Transition 2

01m 47s

Comments:

I got a blister from the sand and bike shoes, so getting into socks and running shoes hurt a bit. I tried to brush off the sand, but it was wet and stuck. Figured it was only 3 miles, I'd be fine!

Run

33m 21s
3.1 miles
10m 46s min/mile

Comments:

The right foot (??stress fracture) didn't hurt at all, but my entire left leg was freaking killing me. Maybe from the compensation last weekend, maybe from the pitch of the road, IDK, but it hurt like a mofo. I tried to keep my pace slow, but steady. That lasted about 1/2 mile, then I did a 1:1.

Post race

Warm down:

Got some water, gatorade. Talked to Tonya, Jeff, Sue and Matt, waited for awards.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Running a 1/2 ironman last weekend, my fat tail, lack of training the last 3 weeks, poor nutrition. Pick one, anyone!! LOL!!

Event comments:

This was a PR by 14 seconds, good enough for 3rd Athena. It was the eye opener I needed to get my nutrition and training plan back underway! I need to be faster on the bike and run to be competitive, and I want to take back my first place!!
