Man, Wasnt really the brick I wanted. I really needed to transistion alot faster and get started on that run, but it took a little while for awards to start. Was at least 30min until we got to start running.
The swim was an absolute blast. I thought it would be really difficult to focus for that long in water but it wasnt. My miles were really tickin away and that was nice. I was able to push that last lap and felt like it was probably my fastest. The water was great. Really really clean. Turns out the race WAS wetsuit legal. Little dissapointing to me because I really would have liked to race it w/o wetsuits. I figure my time would have been reasonably slower w/o a wetsuit.
We started the run and I felt a little sluggish. We found this really really cool trail to rundown and really started feeling better. The run was gorgeous. ALOT OF CLIMBING. But I figure thats a good thing. Did 30minutes in one direction and back then did 15 and 15 for a total of about 1:25. Got towards the end and was fairly fatigued but still felt good. :D Sydneys Garmin has the elevation change and she says it was brutal. ha. Her Garmin also states we ran an 8 pace. I dont think thats right.... I did my pace calculations using her distance and our final time of 1:25:00 and the pace calculated out to even 9s. :-)
