An hour solo and than the Gettysburg shop ride. The first hour was dry. The last 2 with the guys it was raining the entire time. Very lively ride. The rain seemed to give everybody a boost. 7 guys showed up.

It was probably a bit too early after my race to ride 3 hours but I actually felt pretty good. The first hour was a bit rough but once the group ride started and the rain started....I felt great.

Love riding in the rain.

Swim
  • 40m
  • 2100.00 yards
  • -----

A few 300s, 100s and 50s. Some kicking and 200 back/breast.

Legs are very sore today. I didn't realize how tired I am until I tried to swim a hard 100 in the pool and could only manage 1:35.  I didn't bother trying to swim hard after that.  I did feel much better after the swim. Not nearly as sore and I loosened up quite a bit so I'm glad I decided to get in the water.

May 6

Swim
  • 34m 40s
  • 2112.00 yards
  • 01m 38s /100 yards

Decent swim. Swim times were all fairly high. Only one time under 30 minutes. Probably about 2-3 minutes off the faster swimmers. Not great but par for me.

24th/150

Bike
  • 2h 33m
  • 58.00 miles
  • 22.75 Mi/hr

Bike was OK until the last 15 miles or so. I suffered a bit toward the end of the bike. Back and neck were sore and I was sitting up a lot. Not quite as sharp on the bike as I hoped to be. I have some work to do here.

There was a long (50 yard) run with the bike before the mount line. Not sure if that is counted in the overall bike time or transition time. I think it was counted in the bike time.

9th/150

Run
  • 1h 26m 06s
  • 13.20 miles
  • 06m 31s /Mi

Very good run. Best HIM run split to date. Ran consistent 6:30 miles until miles 11-12 where I started to lose it a bit. I recovered and ran the last mile in the 6:00 range. Very happy with the run.

4th/150

6th overall. 1st in the M35-39.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with the race. Not quite as sharp on the bike as I hoped to be. Most likely because I haven't had as much time on the bike in the last month or so as I would have liked.  Run was great considering the foot issues I've had the last month.  I've done very little speed/tempo work since March.  Next few weeks will be heavy on the bike/swim so I can let my foot heal a bit...than I hope to build back to 40 miles/week.

T1: 2:03 - Took a good 45 seconds to put on my socks. They are tight and it was tough putting them on when wet. Only reason I even put socks on was because the temp was in the mid 50s.  I probaby should have just skipped them.

T2: 0:47 - Good transition. Fast and efficient.

Race report coming later with more details.
