One year ago, Griffin and I went to this event to see a real live Tri take place. Prior to that day, I had no idea about transitions, the sequence of events, etc.
A year later, I was in. I participated for a few reasons: it is a Trident coordinated event, it takes place at Butler's Y, and, it was time to begin my season.
I had not been training leading up to this event, but knew I could get through it, even if it was ugly.
It did not help that I had been out WAY too late on Friday, and was still feeling the effects on Sunday.
swim: ugly and slow. While faster than my previous Tri swims, I still have a long way to go, and felt fatigue quickly.
Bike: while this should be my strong suit, my lack of saddle time showed. I caught a calf cramp on "nice hill". Also, riding into a strong wind made the ride tough.
Run: slow and steady. But, ran the whole way.
Overall: slow. Only 2 minutes slower than previous tri's but, a slightly shorter route. A good wake up call for the season. Time to train.
