Or the primordial swamp, I am not sure. But is was icky!!!!!!!!
This was my second road triathlon, it was another sprint. I had a great day, despite the poo swim. The "lake" was so small, it was really a pond. Every exposed inch of skin came out covered in a layer of black ooze that hardened to a crust after the bike. Thanksfully they had a shower for us after. People that swam without a wetsuit ruined their trisuits. It was gross.
The stats:
1/4 mile swim in 6:17
15 mile bike 45 mins ( 20 mph avg)
3.1 mile run 28 mins
Overall 1: 22
1st in age group, 15th woman overall
I am most excited about the bike, I felt like so many people were passing me. I was thrilled to see that I was riding that fast. It was flat, so that helped tons.
My run felt slow, but it was really hot and people were walking, so even though I felt slow, I am still pleased I got it done.
My girlfriend brought her three daughters to watch the race so I had a support group. It was nice.
Off for a recovery mt bike ride today if such a thing exists.
