The season is going by quick! I started off with a great team event with Endure It at Leon's triathlon in Hammond, IN. We had a great showing with 3 teams. The race is fast and very competitive. I finished with 2:28. It was fun being with everyone we trained all winter inside with.
Today I woke up at 4am to head to Pleasant Prairie, WI for their triathlon. They announced how the bike would be shorter than usual at 21 miles vs. 24. Going in the swim was nice, it's a very clean and pretty clear, almost like swimming in a quarry. I got out right away at 24 mins and then headed into transition...got on the bike and away. But after I finished my 2nd loop, i asked the volunteer which way to go and he said "international that way" which I should have realized why people were heading straight. Turns out a couple miles later I asked a biker women that I was close with on the last loop where the turn out was and she was on mile 12! I thought she was on 21 like me....so quickly I turned around. The good part about turning around was meeting Julie from Endure It Willowbrook. We chatted after the race that she's also doing Ironman WI as her first Ironman, I'll see her up at the Madison camp.
With the race turning into an official Olympic distance tri (since I added to make it 24miles) I cut off 2 minutes from Leon's. That's great news for a PR, my run is stronger and faster....thanks to Jenny's running workouts!
