With no intensions to swim/bike & run this afternoon i headed to the pool. i did a 100 warm up & felt strong. thats when the idea of timing my swim & adding the bike & run came to me. i had the time & felt good. i swam 400 meters in 7 1/2 minutes & swam 225 more for more training. ran after the swim since i did not have my bike w/ me. i ran 2 miles & shaved the last mile off due to the extra swim. 1st mile at 8:42 pace & 2nd mile at 8:36 pace. the run was sooo hot at 1 pm. i then got in my car & drove home, got on my bike & rode 9 miles in 34 minutes. my bike time was dissappointing however i had to slow down a few times to avoid the inconsiderate drivers that wouldnt get over. without transition my total time was 1:07:11 (i had to estimate mile 3 for the run at around 8:45). i reviewed last years Longleaf results to compare my time to who placed. the time to beat was 1:10:50. i now question my swim time since first place swim was 8:32 for the 1/4 mile. i will time myself again on my next swim & see how accurate i was. im now motivated to train a little harder.
T-in your age group you missed 1st place by 16 seconds....OH MAN!!! your transition time was so much faster than the rest, all of your events were impressive...You are amazing!!!
Christy!! You are killing it girl. I can't wait to read your race report from Longleaf. Keep it up sista!
