So I'm alive and the triathlon went really well!
I was aiming to do it in 2hr 50min and thought I had done that... until I read the paper with the results and I had done it in 2hr 42min. Yiew!
So I'm super stoked that I managed that time for my first Olympic Distance triathlon.
I know I can easily improve in the swim and cycle.. I have only had my bike for a few weeks so can easily shave some time off that leg. My run actually worked out the same as what I normally run (50min for 10km = 5min/km) so would like to see how far I can push myself in the next 10km run I do as I can no doubt do it faster than I have been. In perspective, there's a girl in the same age group as me who is really awesome and has been doing it for years and she completed it in just over 2hr 20min. So next Olympic distance tri (the Noosa one in Oct/Nov) I'll be aiming for under 2hr 30min.
I have managed to pick up a head cold though now which I only just started getting as soon as I came back to work in the air-con.. funny that. I'm not sore at all from the tri which is surprising.. I do want to go to the physio though so I can have a good massage and also have my hips checked out. That'll have to wait until next pay.
I'm seeing The Pixies tonight - woooo! Just wish I was feeling better. Having dinner at Piaf beforehand though with the crew so excited about that :)
