Women of Steel Triathlon


What a beautiful sunny day Sat May 21st ending up being. I was a little worried because it hadn't stopped raining since the previous Saturday. Makes training outside a little more difficult, that and Jeff was out of town. I figured oh well... it is what it is at that point in the training, or lack thereof. (Bronchitis 7 times since August with 2 of those being in the last 2 months, makes training nonexistent) But bronchitis is in the past... never to get again:)
The water was very warm luckily, but I wasn't so happy with my swim time since I caught up to the person in front of me within the first length. Plus I couldn't pass her until the last lap.
The hills were not my favorite... next time I should train for whatever the course is don't you think:) The hills made for difficult recovery.
During my run, the first mile was all uphill. I think my first mile time was 11:45... but I made up for it a little in the last two miles finishing with a 27 minute something second run time which I am happy about!
My official time was 1 hr 27 minutes
It was fun having a friend from my ward there and my forever triathlon buddy Kerri Ann. Felt just like old times. Too bad she lives in another state. Good memories indeed.
I have no camera so here is a picture I stole from KB.
