Well.

I did pretty good at staying on the "wagon", but like always I could have been better, much better.  And boy, could I tell at the triathlon this weekend!!  But I finished with a good time (for me),  but I wish I had been 3 minutes faster.

Here is the breakdown.

I have a lot of room for improvement and luckily, I have a month to improve, because the next is on June 16th. That run will actually be a full 5k, instead of just 2.9 miles.  So I need to practice running without music or a friend to motivate me.  Seriously, I flounder without one of those items helping me along, sigh.

It really was a fun event, but it definitely had its issues, like the fact the pool was PACKED and you couldn't really pass, because one side of the lane was for down and the other was for back.  If we had a full lane, it would have been less stressful, at least the next Tri gives a full lane, which really means I need to swim (since I ended up walking, which sucked).  And the bike/run included a MONSTER hill (twice for the bike), it was not my friend, I hate hills so very much! But it did have a nice downhill AND diet coke at the end, which sounded good, but actually made my stomach mad (still drank 2 cans though).

I am still deciding if I would do that event next year, I guess I will decide when it comes time to register!
