Go Girl Tri

There is no better way to end the tri season with all girls triathalon. Not the race I wanted timewise, in fact, I can't even fathom how slow I went?! But it was low stress and I actually had fun for once : )

HUGE pros of an only girl race. The swim is a million times easier with no guys out there. Pretty much zero chances of mallcious take downs, (and its the one time my big arms help me out). And with no guys out there, the water is WAY smoother. However, with the water temp being 76 and me not being a wetsuit swimmer, my arms tightened up pretty fast. There went some time.

And the bike is so much nicer-no clusters, and girls actually call out when they pass. The weather was perfect with practially no wind. But with spending pretty much the last two weeks soley on the trainer, my mph average tanked as the hills proved a little more difficult then usual. It happens.

The run actually felt pretty good. Girls are such great support along the way, and as always, loved to see my family along the way, (especially Si yelling out he saw a deer as I ran.) My run average was fair, but so nice to actually run without it being blazing hot for once.

Overall a 5th place finish and an age group win, despite my not so stellar time. But again, I actually had FUN out there, first time in a while, which is way better than an PR. 

And like that...fast laces out, fuel belts in...marathon season is here! And there goes a toe nail or two. #runnerproblems
