Race Report

 Chile Harvest Sprint Tri Race Report 2011

Best Cheerleader ever!

The one who got me started on all this 20+ years ago..

Results:    OA = 111/281,   OA F = 22/107,   AG = 2/13  (NM has a fairly small field)

Swim 9:28 for 400 m (slowest ever for me in a race)

Bike = 38:27 for 20k 19:51 mph ( fairly decent considering there was a hill and some bumpy roads)

Run = 27:03 for 5k Pace 8:44  (I felt really good on the run and I so wish I had worn a watch I think I would have pushed myself a little harder, this is where I really should have picked up the pace)

Overall Time =  1:17:36  I missed 1^st place by a minute, she was about 30 sec  faster than me on the swim and run.  I wish we hadn’t had a seated swim start and I would have seen her on the course :-)  But I’m not at all competitive… I’m doing this for fun!  :-) 

Sunday we all went for a hike with the doggy and called it good.  I love it when my mom comes to visit because there is always plenty of good food and usually enough leftovers to carry me through the week.

My parents went for support and I had my own professional camera crew so the rest of this report will be in pics:

Nice overcast sky to start which helps make the run cooler when it's a seated swim.

T1 trying to remember where my bike was...

Had to avoid several potholes and a car in front of me for what felt like forever and I couldn't pass him....

Trying to look good for the finish!

Is that really all I brought?

Don't we look excited, especially the mayor I don't think he's sure why he's there :-)

Not sure how I feel about the pin vs. a medal....

Today I start my ½ marathon training for the Disney Half girls weekend Oct. 1^st!!  Did I mention I don’t like running!  I’m easily convinced by peer pressure to enter races.  My true love is cycling but racing on a bike other than in a triathlon is very scary!!!  How did your races/training  go this weekend?
