My first Sprint Triathlon!
Location: Rancho Seco Park- just outside of Sacramento
1/2 Mile Swim
16 Mile Bike3 Mile Run
My thoughts before the race:
swim -I'm scared
bike -I'm not a biker... but OK, I'll be fine
run -I got this!
Race day:
The swim was totally fine, and I was pleasantly surprised by this. The bike was well... great until I got a flat tire on mile 12 and had to ride the last 4 miles on a flat (It was extremely painful). Also during the race that competitive drive kicked in and I was loathing all the bikers with road bikes- they are speedy man... (I totally want one now! like TODAY!!) The run was great, I didn't have a buoy to search for or a bike to worry about and the best part was when I was transitioning to the run I knew I was still doing OK on time considering the flat so I just ran my heart out! All in all the race was Awesome. I really can't wait to do it again!!
