This week started out with a *bang* yesterday doing the 70.3 in Galveston. Now, if I'm keeping it real, I only trained about a month for the swim so I wasn't completely deserving of a great swim time. I'm good with that. You get out what you put in.
It was a really tough race for everyone, including the pros, who were rolling behind their normal performance (so they say). The swim was the easiest of all the years I've done this race, and my my worst time. In the end the swim took me 48 minutes. I think my best time in Galveston was 43.
The swim was wetsuit optional and I chose to move to the wetsuit wave. With 50+ relays, we weren't in contention for anything, so we kept it light and fun. I was a bit uncomfortable until the first turn, but then found my pace. I swam, what seemed, pretty darned straight. So straight that I wished I wore my Garmin. And I didn't wear my Garmin, well, because I didn't want to suck the fun out of it. and see bad data…
Lance is such an inspiration and so are you! Congratulations on finishing the Tri. You rock!
ReplyDeleteHey chick...I know it's months away, but I think Alana and I are interested in the Tour de Donut on 11/3 and it's in your neck of the woods. Just an idea. The website still has the 2007 info, but it will give you a general idea. I know I'm supposed to take it one event at a time with this fracture, but you know me...I can't just veg out anymore. I have to constantly make plans. LOL
