It's been a while

So it's been since my last triathlon that I have blogged. Well I just completed my first triathlon of the season, the Philly Insurance Sprint Tri this past weekend. I was nervous about the swim being canceled because we had thunderstorms with hail move through on Friday night, but alas, Saturday was a gorgeous day with a slightly cool Schuylkill. I must say I love using a wetsuit. In parts of the swim it felt restricted, but I knew it was just the way the wetsuit was making me feel and that I was ok. I thought I kicked ass on the bike, but I guess not. The run was the longest three miles ever. My whole lower half was tied up in knots and I was wincing in pain with every step. but yeah I finished! All of my times are a minute to a minute and a half faster than last year (same course) so that's good, just not as well as I would like. So I am going to work extra hard for a triathlon I will be doing in NJ at the end of the summer. It is shorter (except for the run), so we'll see what happens.
