This is a great race. 700 athletes. 50 meter pool.
Lot's of friends racing this one today, so, I decided to use this as a tune up for Austin.
Swim: 7:14. Steady. I'll take Austin a little slower next week. Fastest swim ever at Monster Keller for me.
T1: ran past my bike and had to double back. Other than that, uneventful.
Bike: 1st time to race this course on Tri bike. Due to construction, the bike course was still the goofy 3 loop course. See last year's report for more info. I cranked hard on the bike and posted a 17.9 mph time (18.1 per Strava). Fastest bike split in this race for me.
T2: slow. I sat to put on shoes. As I was exiting transition, I felt some back pain.
Run: easy. I went into the race thinking I would push on the run, but, some tightness and pain kept me from it. I didn't want to risk an injury before Austin.
Overall: 1:25:42. 56 seconds slower than last year...all on the run.
31 of 55 in AG. Meh.
