Whoa!

Sunday I raced in my last triathlon of the season. It was a great race and I feel like I raced very well, especially since I have only ran once in the past 5 or 6 weeks (and that was for the Pacific Coast Triathlon). Because of that fact, I can barely move today. My legs hurt all over. My knees were hurting pretty bad during the race, but I didn't want to give up. So here are my times:

Swim- 28:01 (time out of water, my time will probably show as 28:48 because of the run out of the water)
T1- 1:49
Bike- 1:19:45
T2- 1:38
Run- 54:40
Total- 2:46:38

My bike time was better than Camp Pendleton by about six minutes, but my run time was slower. I finished eighth in my age group. Surprisingly, I beat Skyler by 5 seconds. Boy do I feel bad! Talk about an ego bruise! He doesn't train as much as I do, but was still expecting to beat me. Well, this just proves that time put in is what counts, not just ability. I can't wait until next season. It was be a tough one with the Oceanside 70.3 at the beginning of April. Hopefully my legs will be fixed by then so that I can race to the best of my ability.
