I'm just glad this was the only injury with friends training. Wish we didn't have any...
As for the race day... I felt it overall was a good race and yes I would do it again. I loved the location and having my mom there for support.
The swim 42:30
My swim went pretty well slower than I expected but not bad overall. I got out of the water feeling good. During the swim I thought I passed Heather. We confirmed it on the bike when she caught up to me.
The bike 3:40:48
Not the fastest bike time but for me this was a personal best by a lot! I have improved significantly on the bike since I first started to ride. Time I spent with friends, especially the girls has paid off. Love them for putting up with my slowness.
The run 3:41:48
The run was awful for me! Starting at mile 2 I knew I was in for a long run. I started having show issues. My shoes were too tight due to the heat and my feet swelling. Ugh. By mile 3-4 I had to stop on the side take off my shoes and stretching my foot out. This happened several more times on the run. Ugh. I had to walk a lot during the 1/2 marathon portion. The sun coming out an hour into the run didn't help.
I haven't been so happy to see a finish line. As I was this time around. I couldn't wait to take off my shoes. But the support on the race course was awesome.
Race support with fellow racer Brian
I feel like once I get some of my mechanical issues ironed out. I would like to do another one. Not sure which one it will be. Either way Princeton I will be back to get my target time I know I can achieve.
