I am truly amazed at myself sometimes. I really feel like I am out of shape...I haven't been doing as much as I used to but my results were...
1st in Age Group and 5th overall female!
Same as last year...my times were a bit slower...about 3 minutes slower but I am really OK with that! I felt a lot more wind on the bike than I remember last year. I really pushed it on the swim but it did seem longer than 300. Run seemed a little harder but I think cardiovascular wise...I could use some improvement:)
It was wonderful my hubby, Chris and our dog, Macca or McCormack came to cheer us on...here is a sweet photo of dogie and I. It was really nice to have some support. That is always helpful.
What do I get out of this experience?
1. I had a blast!
2. I enjoyed spending the time with Chris and Macca Dog
3. It was nice to know that I can still do shorter races with little training. (Good muscle memory!)
4. Realize that you can still do races, have fun and not try to kill yourself with training.
I am not saying not train and workout...but I think a lot of people put way to much emphasis on training and can really stress out about it. We need to remember to have fun, enjoy the journey and enjoy the finish line.
