Skyler and I completed the St. George Triathlon...or at least the bike and run portion. The swim portion was canceled due to high winds making the water choppy AKA wimpy Utah triathletes. That's ok because we still had fun. We made a whole weekend out of the trip.
Here are our times:
Skyler 1:14:38
Elise 1:20:24
My bike time was 47:22, compared to my bike time last year (50:56). That is a 3:34 minute improvement. Nice! I expected it to be better, but with the high wind factor that is still great. My run time was 27:07, compared to my run time last year (29:21). That is a 2:14 minute improvement. I thought I did worse on the run this year, but I guess I did better. Go me! My favorite part of my time was that I was only 6 minutes behind Skyler. I think we would have been very close in the swim too. Interesting. I have been careful not to bring this fact up with him because he is sensitive about the thought of me doing better than him. Oh well...I feel great about myself.
Big news! We are signing up for our next race, which will be an Olympic/International distance. 1.5K swim, 40K bike, 10K run. I am worried most about the run because of my shin splints. They still haven't gone away! Boo!
