Sheriff's Sprint RR May 3rd

Swim 300, Bike 9, Run 3
Overall Time: 1:04:24; 1st in AG (F25-29)


Swim-5:18

Set up so we went up and down one lane, under the lane line to the next one and so on....when I went to make my second flip turn under the lane line I got disoriented and ended up in the same lane I was in instead of moving on to the next. Spent the rest of the swim worrying that I accidentally skipped a lap and would be DQ'd. Probably could have been faster....

Transition was good...this is the first time I've used my bike shoes in a race. Wasn't sure whether I should bother since the biking portion was pretty short, but figured since this was supposed to be a practice run it was the best way to go!

Bike-28:16

Nice flat course! Really felt like I smoked the bike course. I was worried I would be scared since it was my first real ride since the crash. I slowed down a lot for all the turns, need to work on that a bit. Managed to stay aero for most of the course!

Transition...nice and fast...put on my running shoes, grabbed my visor and I was off!

Run-30:49

Def not happy with this time. I clearly need to do some shorter, higher intensity bricks. I know I can run fast then that.

Great race to start the season off with! Really enjoyed myself!
