It was a good race. I think it was probably better for my confidence to do it on the same bike I've done the last two years on. This way I know that the faster time was due to the engine and not the equipment.
I averaged 20.2mph according to my garmin, 20.1 according to race results. My overall goal was 2:30 for the race and I got just a hair over 2:31. A lot of that could be attributed to the crappy swim. The bike course was very windy and parts of the run were scorching., but when I was finished I instantly knew I could have easily pushed a little harder on the bike and the run.
Last year's time was like 2:44:59 or close to that, and the year before was a miserable experience at 3:05. I'm actually starting to feel like maybe I'm an actual triathlete!
Next year my goal is to race someone other than myself. I'd really like to get some AG Podium love! |
