This was a good swim for me based on my training lately, although it does make me wonder if I will ever be as fast as I used to be 10 years ago. There was another person in the lane with me and I had to go around her about 5 times but that was no big deal. It was actually pretty fun since this was the first race I did in a pool since high school 1999!

Just train more for the swim!

They gave us 10min to get changed into our bike and run gear and then to head to the spin bikes.

Couldn't mess this up in 10min!

It was a spin bike with a cycling computer on it so it would have made no sense to add resistance to the bike. Mostly everyone just spun their butts off at a super high cadence. The miles I reported are, of course, not accurate to real cycling.

Go a little faster I guess, since I didn't feel tired at all getting off the bike.

This was just a walk upstairs to the treadmills. I didnt have anything to change so it was a few minutes rest for me.

This is what I'm really happy about. Hopefully those treadmills were calibrated and accurate. 2.97mi in 20min is good for me even without swimming or cycling. I did have a pace of 6:33 going for a while but just before mile 2 I slowed it down a bit and then again at 2.5mi which I was at a 6:55 pace. I was trying to get to 3mi and maybe if this was an outdoor run I could have but I don't have a lot of heart on the treadmill especially since you can't see who is in front of you to catch them!

Dig deep in the gut and hold the pace!

Walked around the gym to find my friend and then a nice long stretch.


I'm training for a HIM so this race is really short and fast compared to what I'm getting ready for. Plus this was really just for fun and to see a little bit of where I stand.


Not much to say, it was a well run indoor tri.
