This morning I 'raced' the State Sprint Championships at Hillary's (Race 1 of the Tri Events Series). I had no real expectations heading into the race, given the ironman was only 2 weeks ago. The goal was to go out and have a bit of fun!
The swim course changed slightly from what is has been for the past few races at Hillary's. This edition of the race saw a buoy 100m off the shore before a left turn. This made the first 100 metres fast and very very congested! It was brutal but all fun and games. I had a reasonable swim, coming out the water in 7th position in a time of 12.04 .
The bike course is three laps and it was VERY windy. We had a huge tail wind heading north and hard head wind coming south. I really struggled through the headwind sections and lacked power... no surprise. Off the bike in 33.44.
The 'run' was a simple out and back course. Not much to report on this part of the run. My legs had nothing (again no real surprise), I went through the motions and got to the finish. Overall I finished in a time of 1.06.55, finishing 13th in the open category (20th overall).
Not one of my best races however it was fun to be out on the race track again!
Good work!
