Race: West Valley City Tri (3.2 Miles) 00:01:45
Total Distance
3.20

400 m swim 9 minutes

14 mile bike 56 minutes, goal was just under one hour.

3.2 miles, my cardio had been going for so long that I was nauseous to start the run and my shins were hurting. It took me 38 minutes. Yuck, I was so dissappointed.  I am not sure where I finished because they were so slow with results and I know that they do not remove the top finishers out of the prospective age groups.  Ugh that irritates me, probably because the female winner was in my group.  Does she really need the trophy and the ribbon?  I bet she doesn't even care.  I know a lot of people aren't impressed by the trinkets anymore and that is fine with me.

 I don't think I could have done any better today but still feel like it was lacking.  My stomach was bugging me and I wasn't feeling so hot, and what happens in vegas doesn't stay there.  At least the extra calories didn't.  I have a little work to do, get 'em off fast and they aren't as hard to get off later right?

Hey, this sounds pretty good to me! I have never done a tri and have no idea how it feels! I think it is a great accomplishment! You need to go back and mark it as a race report so everyone can see it with all of the other races!

I think you are right at working at those extra calories quickly! They don't want to get feeling too comfy there! :)

Great Tri! Yippee! I'm sorry is wasn't what you'd hoped for, but it was still awesome! Way to go! Which Tri did you do?

Glad you survived the Tri! I'll have to 'try' one next year.

Hey you did it!!!! It was your first attempt, so you have to start somewhere! Those dang extra calories, I have a few stuck on my behind that I have to shed too, vacations are killer in that respect, but oh so much fun at the moment! Hang in there and celebrate your effort, you are so brave to try all these new things!!!! You are a Superstar!!!!!
