My 2nd Tri...
HA! I love this sport. My second tri this morning, and guess what?? I didn't come in last!!! Woohoo! The bike was awesome, I loved every minute of it. Great trail and I was able to really get some speed going. I still struggle with hills though, even though I love to really pound away at a hill, I have a hard time getting my speed back up to where I want to be after a nice hill. I am also having a hard time decending. I'm afraid of going to fast, so I apply brakes and don't have enough momentum when it counts. And I'm afraid of going around corners too fast too. I'm just a wuss basically!!
But the event was great. I nailed my swim time and I only passed one person, and nobody passed me so I felt good in the water. I still go anerobic in the water, and I never do when I train and I go easily 4x as far. Adrenelyn I guess. I have another tri on June 18th...I'll fill you in on that one too. I won't know my times for this event until Wednesday. I'll for sure post when I do!!! But I wasn't last...awesome.
