I wanted to take it easy and have fun. I ended up having fun passing the people from the earlier waves and riding a bit harder than expected. (Imagine that!!)

Actual time from splits.

Run felt really comfortable. I was not pushing the pace here. I enjoyed running with kam32 for a bout a half mile or so. Had fun with the volunteers and other runners. The venue here was awesome!!

Actual time.

Swim felt comfortable. Got a ride from smeone passing by me at about the 2/3 mark to the end. Very relaxed but HR was elevated.

Actual time with run to T1.

Great race today. I went into the race with the intention of having fun and I did just that. I had a great time with a bunch of BTers and came out of the race with a PR by 7 minutes to boot!! Go figure!

2:12:45 !!!

1st in AG - 11th Overall

Okay.....another pink square and to top it off I have gained 7 lbs since I left for the Ironman!! I am eating well! :)

On another note, Matthew got a nice personal letter and autographed picture from Hillary Biscay! It even said "Good luck at the Finger Lakes Triathlon!!" How cool is that!  

Slept through my 3:15 alarm and woke up late at 4:15. Managed to get on the road by 4:30 but missed Mike and Jeanie for their ride. I started on their route backwards and caught them at the top of my only climb, said a few hello's and took off again.

I still had the disc wheel with the 11-23 on it and would have welcomed company to make this an easy ride. Instead I just cruised the ride, working pretty hard to get back asap.

It did feel good to get on the bike again!!!

Finally!!! I can do something. Easy loop, ITB started to flare up a bit at the end. Other than that it felt great to run again!! :)

Cold's almost better.
