Tri Indy 2009

Sporting my race number…
At the start of the swim/race:
Swimming (I actually did breast stroke the whole time and my time was okay given this fact), please note the “No Swimming” sign:
Transitioning from swim to run (isn’t that trisuit hot?)…Going out for the bike ride. The ride was great. I mostly passed people and didn’t get passed by a single woman
Coming off the bike. I definitely almost bit the dust at this point (Matt said several people did)

Out to the run. This was by far the worst run of my life. I had no juice. Note for next triathlon: take some energy type thing between bike and run or near end of bike…
And at the finish. Only 5 minutes longer than my goal…

Overall: 1:35:12 (258/463 – 55.7%)

Group (”Athena”, i.e., Fat Chick) Category: 2/11 (I wonder if I get an award for this….)

Age Group: 9/37 (24.3%)

Swim: 13:05 (195/463 – 42.1%)

T1: 2:17.7 (142/463 – 30.7%)

Bike: 42:56, 17.4 mph (184/463 – 39.7%)

T2: 1:38.7 (198/463 – 42.5%)

Run: 35:14, 11:20 (340/463 – 73.4%)

Had I not totally sucked up the run, I would have finished around the 200 mark (which would have made me seventh in my age group and first in the fat chick category). Overall the race went very well.
