This evening was a trial tri - yay! I've missed the last couple, so I really wanted to get one in, just to get a feel for it before the REAl triathlon on June 19th. So we went out to the lake and I swam a mile...and I LIKED it! What a surprise. It was semi-smooth at the start, and didn't start to get choppy until the last half. But I wasn't freaked out about the waves like I usually am, so it was a very good swim for me. I took it easy, and never got tired.
After the swim, I hopped on my bike for some hill climbing fun!!! My quads are still a little angry with me, so I held back and tried not to work too hard. It was also ridiculously HOT outside, and I didn't want to overheat. I finished with 16 miles in 1:05:52.
Then came the run...super hot!!! I ran with Britnee, and we went REALLY slow because I hadn't eaten in 7 hours, I was overheating, and feeling dehydrated. Plus we were running across the dam, which is gravel-covered, and we just never really increased our speed after that. We did 3.1 miles in 32:07. But I finished, so I'm happy about that. :D |
