Stephen keeps asking for a race report:

Rock Cliff Tri- June 23, 2012

Swim: 36:03 

T1        3:40 

Bike     1:24:12 

T2         1:26 

Run       57:38 

Total       3:02:56.

Swim- water was not as cold as expected. It seemed a little long but then again, swimming almost a mile is a long way. Hyperventilated a little but was pretty happy with my time. Trasistion was really close to the water so my transition times were good. T1 would have been faster but I was talking to Ryan. Felt good heading out on the bike. 

Bike- it was a false flat. Looked flat but was really uphill. Very hard mentally. Thought I was going to quit because I couldn't go faster than 15mph. Thought it was the elevation. Then...we turned around! The down hill was fun. Really fast. Overall, I was happy with my bike time. T2 was fast. 

Run- I felt great on the run. I kept my HR at about 160-165 throughout the bike and the run. Thats where I noticed the elevation. Ran pretty fast. It was HOT. 

Overall- My time was awesome. I was happy with all three events. I didn't love this race though. They made us ride our bikes in 3 miles and then wait for the bus back and we didn't wait for the bus so we rode our bikes back out. It started late. My #1 pet peeve in a race. The scenery was pretty and the athletes were friendly. I'm making it hard for myself to keep breaking my own records. Just looked at the official results and I was 3rd in my age group.
