My times were nothing to write home about- and my transitions were slow- but I had FUN- and that's all that matters (I looked for tumbleweeds, but didn't see any, Salsa ).
1:34 total time. 11 min. swim, averaged 16.9 on the bike, and threw down a 34 min. 5K (I did the run at my IM pace, since that's the big goal this year).

SO much fun! Thanks for the support- I felt you guys out there with me!

Now tomorrow I will do the olympic distance. Twice the distance- twice the fun. On the run today I was feeling the heat tinglies, so I'm a little concerned about the heat tomorrow- but if I have to walk most of the 6 miles- so be it. As long as I finish with a smile on my face- it will be a success!!
Good WOMAN!!! That is just excellent. It was fun to be racing again. I had a decent swim, a good bike, and my usual slow-ish high HR run. A work in progress. I had a lot of fun and saw a bunch of people I know and am happy that the season is underway. The sun came out for our run as well, and everyone looked a little confused by it. It's gorgeous, if you're not running...
