It didn't rain. I didn't forget anything - no equipment or wardrobe malfunctions... It was all good. At the end of the day I had fun. The site was set up differently this year and I liked it. FIRM RACING did an AWESOME job of organizing/executing the race.
No PR... I did not make my goal of finishing in the 1hour 30+ minute range, but it just wasn't my day I guess. 1:44 was my final time. Here's the synopsis --My swim felt long (and it was). My transitions were sluggish (room for improvement). The bike felt good. I wasn't as strong on the hills as I had hoped, but I powered on the downhills and finished in 45 min. My run felt hard and slow. My legs never lost that sluggish/post-ride feeling and it was hard to get into a groove. I felt good when I finished so I know I held back.
Next year Sister #3 will be back. We have decided that 2008 will be a year of PRs. To make that even more of a possibility we have decided to buy new bikes with our tax returns. Of course the best way to improve my times / health / fitness will be to lose 30+ lbs. Time to make that a priority in my life once again.
