Surpassed My Goal

We did it! Yesterday Skyler and I raced in the Pacific Coast Triathlon with our friends Donny and Jaci. We had a great time and all did exceptionally well! My goal was to finish with a time of 1:25:53. My time last year was 1:33:53. I wanted to improve my time by 8 minutes. I exceeded my goal by completing the race with a time of 1:23:47, a little over two minutes faster than I wanted to go, which makes my time ten minutes faster than last year's! I also placed 4th in my age group compared to 15th last year. I am very happy with my time, but of course nothing is ever good enough for me. I was just one place away from getting an award, although third place was three minutes ahead of me. Skyler finished with a time of 1:20:36, an improvement of 7 minutes. We both did great!

Doing a sprint race is hard because there is not much time for recovery. I felt sick the entire time I was on my bike. I pushed the run hard. I improved all of my times which makes me very happy!
