Sunday August 8th

Bangs Lake Olympic distance race
2:30:18
Didn't go too well.
33ish minute swim.
21.9 avg on the bike
averaged 7:06 on the run

Couldn't get my wetsuit closed before the race until the minute before. Kept getting off course on the swim.
Started out biking really well then got stung by a bee. Just felt unfocused the entire time during the race.
Running started out really well then the hills hit and I slowed down a lot.

Overall as a first race at the distance I'll take the auto PR and hopefully have an easy mark to beat for next time. I was shooting for 1:25 realistically and I think that would have been very attainable if I had swim a little better and the run course wasn't so hilly.

The next week or so is just going to be random training with mostly running then I'll start building running mileage and putting a couple purposeful swim and bike workouts in a week.
