Subject: RE: Oktoberfest Tri Good job! My transition times were almost exactly the same; I know I need to work on them. Bike was 45:34 (13/20 AG) and run was 30:16 (10/20). If it weren't for the stupid swim mistake, I'd be pretty happy with my race. Times are much better than my last race and my run is about the same time as my last stand-alone 5k. Considering that at the end of January, I'd had 2.5 years of no exercise due to severe back pain and 2 hip surgeries, I've come a heck of a long way. I have to take comfort in that and just let go of the swim. I made it to the start line, made it to the finish line, didn't throw up, and was able to encourage others and have fun the whole time. That's really what it's about: having fun, learning, and doing one's best. By those measures, I won. |
