Warmed up by riding from Torrey up to the pool for 8.5 miles with the headlight. Used my sweet Ogio tri bag and hauled the rest of my gear up too. Then ran 2.2 miles before the race started at 7 a.m. Temps were 55F. Nice to run in. But cold coming out of the water. However the pool was warm.
The swim was kind of hard/sucky/idk. Sucked in way too much water on all the turns. Havent swam since STG 70.3 in 2013. But it was short and finally got over. I was second out of the pool. Passed the lead guy in transition but a chick passed both of us and she was first off on the bike.
The bike was an out and back 8 mile rolling hill course. I passed the girl after .05 miles. Tried to just ride as hard as possible. Knowing that if I killed the bike... even if I died. No one would out run me. In the end I put about 4 min's on the other riders chasing on the bike course.
Hit the run pretty solid too. Having had zero tri training with bike and running mixed the legs turned over pretty good. I didn't have a watch or garmin all day so there are no splits, overall time... nothing. forgot to charge. Ended up winning by around 10 min's. Then did some more running to cool down and road back to Torrey. So a ride, run, swim, ride, run, ride type morning.
Had fun. Entry was $5 and I got $15 for winning. So I guess I'm worth about $10 an hour for my efforts.
6 more miles tonight up Sandcreek and around Torrey. Temps are lovely.
