Had a great race Saturday!!!

Only had 5 hours of sleep but they say it's the night before, the night before the race that really matters. Showered and made some coffee. Ate exactly what I ate for Icebreaker last month.

Arrived at transition and set up my bike in the primo spot. :D Just prior to race start Heath, my coach showed up and fussed with my transition set up and gave me some race/pace instructions.

The Run: Got to the front line and off to the side, where I normally start. I don't like being squished by people in the middle. This ended up being a 5k instead of 3 miles which kind of bugs me. I like to know and plan for exactly what I will be doing (it felt like a crazy maze the last tenth of a mile)

 

Ran it in 19:58/6:26pace which is a 5k PR actually, best 5k has been a 20:12 so far..so PR..haha. This was not all out however, it was a strong effort, but not to where I would get any lactic acid and stiffen up for the bike and swim. I still wonder what I could do for a pure 5k.

The bike: There were a lot of people to pass on the second loop (People starting their first loop) and many times I got stuck behind. The next race I need to see and plan ahead so I can keep effort high and pass quickly. I could have shaved of several minutes with better planning. 

The swim:  My coach was walking along the deck mimicking arm strokes..telling me to swim long strokes as I started my first lap. With just a few lengths of the pool left he yelled to me, "Hurry, She's Coming!" Well there were two "She's" behind me, one a college swimmer. Source of Nightmares. Lol. As I got to the end of the pool, I inhaled a bit of water as I pushed myself out, kindof fell in the pool gutter at my coaches feet. Must have been a funny site, Managed to "run" to the finish mat coughing and looking pathetic..haha.

This race suit I bought just days ago, was a bit expensive, but worth it. Feels like second skin. 

 

This picture does it no justice, this really is quite a beautiful medal:

 

If you look closely my nails are black..matches my bike..haha:

 

 I can still hear in my head, "Hurry Missy! She's Coming!"

Yay I'm first to comment! A HUGE CONGRATS Missy! I mean CHAMP! Awesome job! I knew you were gonna kill it! Wow that chick that got second place was swimming fast! How far was the swim? All that hard work pays off. You definitely deserve the victory. Love the medal and pics. You are truly bada$$ Missy!

-Your biggest fan!

From missy on Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 10:41:40 from 75.162.124.171

Hi Vinh. :D Thank you! Yes, Amanda who was right behind me was a college swimmer. She is pretty fast. It was only 350meters. I could have done a 6:30 for that if I was feeling better..haha. :)

From Burt on Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 11:20:34 from 98.177.220.145

Yay! I'm second to comment! A huge congrats chump, I mean chimp, I mean CHAMP! Your second biggest fan.

From Burt on Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 11:22:53 from 98.177.220.145

Okay, seriously though. That is an awesome time. Amanda sure was making up some time in the pool. Wow! But you killed everyone on the run, and that second transition was way fast. Great pictures Missy the Model.

From JD on Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 11:49:17 from 70.96.78.157

Congratulations on the win. Looks like a great performance!

From Scott Wesemann on Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 11:49:34 from 66.239.250.209

Wow! That is soooo cool. I really loved your report, pics and congrats on 1st place. Vinh is right, you really are bad***! can you say *** here?? Ha.

This post really put a smile on my face. Nice work Missy.

From: Your third biggest fan.

From jun on Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 13:43:57 from 66.239.250.209

Yes, I concur with everyone. However, I do feel it my personal responsibility for giving you crap on the swimsuit pose with your head turned to the side. Hahahaha.

Way to take 1st. That is so awesome. You are an animal.

Now come climbing tomorrow!!!

From Toby on Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 15:11:47 from 216.194.124.36

Sweet pictures and race report AND a 5k PR :) Can't wait to hear about the SG Olympic Tri - it's gonna be awesome!

From missy on Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 17:11:26 from 75.162.124.171

I am lucky to have one fan..but this many..You guys rock! I didn't think anyone would read my report..haha. Tried to keep it brief.

Thanks Burt...I did feel good about my run, it was nice to get the fastest run time for female. Almost got fastest bike as well, but not quite. Lolz on "Model"

Thanks JD. :D I like your profile picture, what are you looking into? Between two buildings?

Scott. :) You can say a$$ on the radio now...still surprises me everytime I hear it uncensored. Not because it offends, but since I am not used to hearing it..haha. (except out of my mouth) Thanks for being my 3rd biggest fan! I have to prepare everyone...I won't win my next race...the competition is stiff! Have to put that disclaimer out there....haha.

Jun...Had to hide the butterface. Lol. Yarrrr.....1st is sweet. I used it to get out of a ticket on Saturday. I had been stopped for Texting while driving. I said to the officer, "Oh no! It's supposed to be a good day. I won a race today...see my #? (Pointed to markings on calves..)" I also while looking for my license showed him my CPR card...lol...I figured one of those would save me. He went to his car for a while and came back, he congratulated me on my victory and told me to be more safe driving..haha. OH, and I do want to climb tomorrow...what time?

Toby, thanks...Oh, If I take 3rd at SG Olympic I would be stoked! :D Less than 4 weeks to go! Do you think I could get a copy of that pix you took of me? :)

From jun on Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 17:44:23 from 66.239.250.209

Hey, we'll either do a lunchtime session or, most likely, get out around 3:30 to 6 or so. Can you make that time? Give me a call if that works and you want to know we we're going to climb.

From Twinkies on Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 20:51:34 from 72.37.244.84

Congrats on the win. I enjoyed the report and the pictures too. It amazing that you got a 5k PR, then did the bike and swim, and still took 1st. Way to go.

From ChrisM on Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 02:59:54 from 82.20.234.157

Well done missy! You also had the quickest 2nd transition, good job on maintaining your 100% triathlon win status!

Isn't it usually swim bike run not run bike swim?

From Huans32 on Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 09:16:22 from 138.64.8.52

Wow!! Nice job on the race there Missy. And it was a reverse tri at that. Crazy crazy. Awesome job holding strong.

From Samantha Dean-Howard on Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 17:14:17 from 90.201.147.150

wooohooo well done Missy 5k pr in a tri race wowsers girl you animal!

:)

From Samantha Dean-Howard on Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 17:15:50 from 90.201.147.150

btw lurrrve those piccies ;-)

From missy on Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 17:07:17 from 75.162.124.171

Thanks, Twinkies!! :)The bad thing about taking first is..I have to get first next time too..lol.

Chris Thanks! ...Yes it's usually run/bike/swim but I think the Orem Rec Center (Pool)...has their own ideas about how they want things to go.

Thanks Huans. Yep that reverse order. My coach says it favors me since I'm a runner, I just needed to relax in the pool at the end..was fighting the water. Next time! They run the same race in Nov. Might do it then to redeem my lame swim..haha.

Ty Sammie! You gave me good luck. Thanks. :)

From Kelli on Wed, May 26, 2010 at 19:01:10 from 71.219.93.114

I missed this report somehow (I miss a lot of them, actually!) Anyway, belated congratulations!!! That is one heck of a race! I know nothing about swimming or biking so i am in awe at you TRI people, but I do know that is one heck of a 5k time!!! Nicely done, and cute suit. i am sure it was well worth the $$$$

From missy on Tue, Jun 01, 2010 at 17:49:51 from 63.230.6.239

It's ok Kelli, I have been "Blog Slacking" as Scott would say..haha...I haven't even made a race report of my last race on May 15. There just aren't enough hours in the day. :P

The suit is great. It's super comfy and fits well so I don't have to worry about wardrobe malfunction or anything..haha.

Oh, and I know nothing about biking or swimming either. I am very new in those disciplines...It can be frustrating...But I remind myself to be patient..and have fun.
