This tri was 10 minutes faster than my previous half Ironman. Utah lake was murky and I swam completely blind. I swam in the wrong direction a few times. I even had to back track to one of the markers I missed. That made my time 4 minutes slower. I did better in transition. I was killing the bike until it started raining and the wind blew like crazy for the next 30 miles of my ride. The run was okay until I found one of my friends struggling on the run. I ran the next 9 miles with him to keep him going. We managed to keep the run under 2 hours. He got 3rd in his division. Even if I ran my run at my pace, I would have been in 6th or 7th place instead of 10th. |
