The distances were 0.6 mi swim/22mi bike/6.6mi run.  I was in the Collegiate category and was in the first wave of the Olympic distance tri.  I'm usually somewhere in the middle, so this was good and bad.  I didn't have to worry about the swim and bike being crowded.  The course officials were strict on the bike course and it was a very windy day.  We were required to keep 3 bike lengths and complete a pass in 15sec.  I was so far ahead on the bike that I didn't have to worry about that.  The down side of being in the first wave is that I had no one to push me, the next girl behind me was about 10-15min behind.  If I did age group, I would have had pleany of people to challenge me.  I ended up finishing first in the female collegiate division and in the 93rd percentile overall for females.  Swimming is by far my weakest, I was around average for women and near the end in my division.  I have improved my biking drastically since last year and came in around the 90th percentile for women and averaged 19.25mph, and running was my best averaging 8:02/mi and I was in the 93rd percentile.  It was a good race for me though, there were 10 people from my team to do the race and out of the guys and girls, only one guy beat me.  

I did get a nasty blister on the bottom of my foot because the insole slipped when I was putting my shoes on.  I didn't feel it until the last mile though, so it didn't effect my race.  It just hurts now.  I will probably order some Zoot tri shoes before my next race though instead of wearing some really old Mizuno Precisions (I've probably owned about 10 pair so I have many even after throwing away about 1/2).

Track workout w/Trigators

Ran 2.25 mi warm-up at around an 8:15/mi

1/4 mi straights and turns

5x400 on 100s-102s/400m

1/2 mi cooldown easy

I was still pretty sore in the quads from my race, so I just took it easy.  The blister on my foot healed quickly.  I just lanced it and put a bandaid on & some neosporin and wore two pairs of socks.  It didn't bother me at all and within 36hrs it was completely gone (no bandaid needed).

Ran 6.8 miles by my self at around 9:20/mi.  My stomach was really upsetting me.  I need to cut back on the candy (from Halloween-no trick-or-treaters) and junk food. 

Then I met up with the Trigators and ran 5.2mi at around an 8:11/mi.  Besides the upset stomach and the rain the last mile, I felt pretty good.

Nice jog in the dark with a head lamp and my boyfriend at about a 9:08/mi for 3.1mi

The temperature dropped to the 50's so it was a little chilly but not too bad.  It will have to be in the 30's before I break out the tights (which in Florida doesn't happen very often).

Did a two loop trail run with hills at the end of each loop.  My legs were pretty sore at the end.  I kept around a 10:00/mi pace the whole way since I picked up my mileage quite a bit this week to get back on track.  I plan on picking up the pace in my long runs a little bit as I get use to the weekly mileage.  The weather was nice today, started out in the lower 60's and got up to around 70 by the end of the run.
