Race Recap
Leading up to the race last Sunday I felt really good. I was mentally prepped and physically I knew my training was probably as good as it could be. I picked up a few extra hours at work and had lots to do to get ready to go back to school but I was ready to race. Race morning was bright and early. We loaded up and arrived a few mins after 6AM for a 7AM start time. My mom and I were actually right next to each other on the same bike rack which was a first for us. We had a few friends who were also racing. We caught up with them and planned out where to enter and exit transition. One of my friends, Kate, that I've known since we where in middle school was with us, it was going to be her first. I was so excited for her! It was soon time to exit transition and make our way to the beach for the time trial swim start. |
Swim
My strategy was to focus on putting my head down and really gliding with my arms. Kate was speedy. I did my best to stay with her and my time reflected that.
Ran out, told Kate how well that went and went to get ready to hammer out the bike.
