Tri Report-yet another oops!!

[crazycanuck]

Right,

I participated in the BRW corporate Tri series here yesterday and had a bit of fun...(with an oops..)

Each company could enter teams of 3 with each doing one leg or teams of three doing a whole sprint tri each. I chose to do a whole sprint tri.

The weather was boooooteaful yesterday, not too hot though!! Admittedly i did forget sunscreen..my first oops. I expected the conditions to be smooth yet a bit windy.

On my leg, i had a horrible swim. I was freaked out by the waves, which were medium due to the wind and had to swim on my side plus breast stroke plus freestyle most of the 400m's. I swallowed more of the lovely swan river & had a nice dirt goatee upon exiting the water. (Same location as the city of perth tri but no cuts this time.)

The bike leg. I figured out today that i cheated...i only did 5km's istead of 10k. I didn't look at my odometer when i neared the transition..really. Because I couldn't hear the announcer at the beginning I didn't know it was two laps!!!OOps..

I felt pretty good on the run although i started off a bit slow. At the turnaround point I decided to mozy my little legs & push myself. My run time was 20min for a 4km run. (when we last did a timed run during training, i did 4km in 22min.)

I'll post a pic of my dirt goatee when i figure out where my dear stored them on the puter.

Hey, CC,

4K in 20 min, that's great time to me! Too bad about the laps on the bike. At least you had less sun exposure time! When I did the Leaning Tower Y sprint last year, it was 5 laps on the bike. I put 5 strips of colored tape on my handle bars, and tore one off every time I finished a lap. I didn't trust myself to keep track any other way. Looking forward to the pictures--I'm sure a dirt goatee is very fetching on you. L.
