This is one of my favorite sprint triathlons around. It's at Boerne Lake where I do a lot of my training and it's just an overall fun race. I had high expectations coming into this race having raced it the previous two years. This was the challenge I needed to see if all my training was going to give me the results I wanted.
500m swim: 10:12
I was right on goal with my swim. I usually allow for 2 min/100m and I was only 12 seconds above it! Extremely excited about that! If I am remembering correctly (and this is the problem with not getting my thoughts down right away) they had marked the course differently (like a straight out and back) and I think the wind had picked up by the time the race had started and the markers were being blown around in the water causing some of the swimmers to almost swimming into each other. I had an okay T1 of 1:05.
13 mi bike: 48:44 (16 mph)
I was aiming for at least averaging 17 mph on this course but with the wind picking up that slowed me down a bit. After looking at my previous two attempts at this race, I have improved on the bike portion in each one so overall I'm please with the result. I had an awesome T2 of 0:42!
4.1 mi run: 40:10 (9.47/m)
Again, I am pleased with my run in this race. I managed to stay under a 10 minute pace and I really can't ask for more than that.
Total time: 1:40:55. I only knocked 1 minute off my overall time from the previous year but it was enough to place me 6th out of 18 girls in my age group!
