Way to go on the bike! You ROCK!!! That is an amazing average, and its good it didn't affect your run.

Congratulations on a great race. Maybe this will motivate your boyfriend to get his lazy bum out of bed and go riding with you!
Well, it was a C race, in the sense that I didn't want to taper for it. I kind of did due to scheduling though and ended up with 2 days of rest beforehand. Ooopss.

But my goal was to try to blow it out, no holding back. Screw holding back on the bike to save it for the run. I wanted to see if pushing on the bike would affect my run. The last tri I did, I did a 16 mph average and I held back on the bike to save it for the run.

I learned no holding back on the bike. Go for it. I can still make the run afterwards just fine.


As for beating my boyfriend... uuuhhhh... I really don't like it. He gets all... macho... about the fact that his girlfriend beat him. He is being a good sport about it, as good as he can be... but I could tell at the race he was ticked off that my bike average beat his. Oh well, it will motivate him to workout.
