Well, I finally did my first triathlon of the season...Tri-It in Spanish. The race was June 14th and this was my first time to sit down and write about it!
I decided to do this race since my athletes, Marco and Lorena Garsed put this race on. They are the ones that open the Triathlon Store in San Antonio...Trisition Area. So, Chris and I really wanted to support them:)
I was pretty nervous, since my training has been back burned due to my busy schedule at work. But I have been trying to get a couple of runs in during the week, some yoga and maybe an occasional swim or bike.
Had a great swim, a pretty decent bike considering the hills, averaged about 19 mph, the run was OK...it was trail runs and I had racing flats on...not a good combination. But had a decent enough run.
OK...so are you ready? Muscle memory must be pretty good because...I placed 2nd overall female. I was 50 seconds away from the 1st place women. Not bad for "not training" or feeling "out of shape!". I was really happy with my results. Chris placed 2nd overall male! Not bad for some older folks...hehehe!
I ended signing up the Rogue Women's Triathlon on July 27th and Dam 09 on August 16th. They both should be fun.
I am looking forward to them both but have really enjoyed the down time from triathlons. It has been a good summer for me when it comes to my job but the triathlon part of my life is on the back burner. I am OK with this...(I think) but I know in the long run that I will always have triathlon in my life, whether I am cheering my husband on, whether I am coaching my AWESOME athletes or just enjoy watching the sport on TV for the Olympics...GO HUNTER!
This I know...I will ALWAYS have triathlon in my heart!
