This morning started with the SHAQ Triathlon. I participated in the sprint for fun. I should have tried harder, I got third in my age bracket... DOH!! I smoked the swim, and I am not a swimmer. The bike was headed to be a fast time until I got to the area to mount the bike and I was missing one shoe.... DOH!!! A kind volunteer found my shoe, and after my 2 minute delay I was off on the bike. I passed everyone... heehee! Minus the disappearinng shoe trick, my time was better than expected. The run was okay... I lost time in transition again because I wanted to wear socks for the run. That killed another minute to minute and a half. I finished with a time of 1:09:01.
I ran home after the race so I could get my extra running miles for the day. I took it easy not knowing if I was going to bonk on the way home. I averaged a 9:00 pace for 8 miles. This was a good day! Taking it easy for the last 3 days must have helped with all this extra energy today. |
