This was my first triathlon is a year. Last year I did 5 triathlons, but this year, I just couldn't get motivated to do the training. But my trainer, Lindsay did one earlier and talked about how fun it ws and my friend, Julie just got a new bike and wants to do triathlons....so I got inspired to start training.
I don't think that I trained enough. But, I am registered for 3 more over the next few months, so all I can do is improve.

The Swim and Bike portions felt good. But they must have really drained my energy tank. By the time that I got to the run, I was exhausted. It was hot, but I just felt empty. Usually on the run, I am passing people easily. I still passed people, but got passed by others also. It just means that I need to train more for the next triathlon on August 18
350 meter Swim: 9:41
11.3 mile Bike: 42:09 (16.1)
2 mile Run: 19:14 (9:37)
Even though I didn't feel like this was one of my best races, I stil placed 133rd out of 274 (road bike division) and placed 6th out of 21 (F - 55-59 Division)
