Summary
I did my third triathlon of the year yesterday. It was a 500 meter swim, ~14 mile bike, and 2.1 mile run. It may or may not be my last tri for the year — I’m debating whether to do the 5150 Sprint in Galveston next month — but either way, this one is close to home that I couldn’t pass up the opportunity! When I signed up, I briefly considered doing the olympic distance — which would have been an incredibly stupid thing to do. The sprint was exactly right. There was no Athena category so I had absolutely zero chance of “winning” anything, but I finished solidly in the middle of my age group and everything except my run was in the top 10 in my age group. Not too shabby at all considering my only goal was to have fun!
I’m on the fence about whether I’d do this race again for a couple reasons that I’ll mention when I post a full race report, but all things considered it went pretty well.
