I was 8th over-all and 1st in Division. We started out at Gunlock Res. I was the first one out of the water which is a hugh accomplishment for me. I have spent the last year doing many drills in the pool so my swim would be easier and more efficient. I held the lead on the bike for more than half the distance, but I knew Steve Olsen and Ryan Duckworth would eventually find me. They are very strong on the bike. Rich Bruin caught up to me just after T2. I knew the run would be my slowest sport today. I was surprised to see that the run out was mostly uphill... ugh!! On the turn-around Craig Coats caught me and with 1 mile left Heath Burchinal slipped past me. I still enjoyed the race and was very happy with my results. The guys loved catching me, and they knew I was an easy target on the run. My knee injury didn't seem to bother me, but the platar faciilis was a minor problem. It was fun to see the Tri-club dominate this race!
These distances were also the prescribed workout for crossfit this weekend. So I get to count this towards following the program this week |
