mostly on the sod farm

4000 straight. Probably more of a workout for my head than anything else.

200 wu
6x500

One of the hardest swim workouts I've ever done.

Really tough conditions in the swim today. The water was very, very choppy, the wind was brutal (pushing a current of water at us) and it was very dark.

What can I say? I know it has something to do with the new bike, but I also know that it has a lot to do with all of the time and effort I have put into training on the bike this year.

My best run in any event, ever!! Thrilled with this one. I truly put everything I had into this run and pushed myself, perhaps, further than I ever had before.

By far my best triathlon to date.  It has taken about 6 years of steady, consistent training but I finally put it all together on race day.  I am most pleased with the results of my run.  I pushed myself throughout this somewhat challenging course on the bike too.

In the past, I was passed by scores of people on the run... But Not Today

In the past, I would have allowed myself to rest (even walk) up some of the hills on the run... But Not Today

In the past, I would never have the opportunity to pass others... But Not Today (and even some with IM logo tattoos)

In the past, I would have been discouraged with the tough conditions in the swim and caved... But Not Today

In the past, I would have rested on the bike and coasted to conserve energy... But Not Today, today, I left it all out there on the bike.

In the past, I was able to convince myself that a mediocre race was a good one... But Not Today

I think I can finally say that I RACED a triathlon.
