The Race was 4 weeks after IMLP. I was feeling pretty good going into the race. I was still feeling like I wasn't recovering from my runs as fast as I should, but felt confident in my ability to complete the race.
The only downfall for me was, because I placed 2nd OA at Cooperstown tri, I was asked to try the Championship wave which turned out to be an Intermediate race! I started feeling the negative self talk creep up on me as the race approached. There was a former pro, soon to be pro and a Pro in my wave. How was I to compete with these people?!
I got to the race with plenty of time to spare. I got nervous when my disc wheel wasn't pumping right, but I stayed calm and focused on what I could control at the moment. Luckily, my friend had the attachment I needed to pump up my tires!
Swim 1500m: There was about 12 of us in the wave total. I tried to just get a good position and hold on as long as I could. I knew the people in my wave were pretty fast swimmers! I held onto them for about 1/4 mile and then I was on my own to finish up the 1500m swim. GRRRR!! I didn't sight very well as there was only one cable line and buoys to follow. Still working on that part. Time-30:11
T1: No problems with transition. There was a run up a hill to the mount line, which I liked better in the grass, but hey we all had to do it! 1:03
Bike 25miles: I didn't even have my legs at the start of the bike. I was hoping they would come to me, but I never truly felt good on the bike until the second half. This bike leg has some tough grinder climbs and I just tried to hang on for as long as I could. I did pass one girl on the bike which I was proud of!!
I felt so alone on the course. I knew the better girls probably had a good 3-5 min on me and with my legs feeling like bricks, there was no way I was going to keep up. I just tried to do me and focus on what I could. Time-1:13:01
T2: Off the bike with shoes still on the bike, run down hill, racked bike. Took a little longer as I put socks on but it was a good move considering I had Blisters from my run the day before. Time-1:03
Run 10k: I felt great on the run. I felt like I was keeping a great pace and kept focusing on forward movement. I saw the other girls ahead of me. I tried to focus on the 3rd girl I saw because she wasn't that far ahead of me. I thought for sure I would catch her, but she must've really put the heat on on the second half because after the turn around, she was gone!! The run is pretty challenging. You are climbing for the first 5K and then down the next 5K. Phew! Time:51:31
Overall Time: 2:36:32
4th overall Female. In a tough bracket. Ill take it.
"I felt great on the run" ,I LIKE it ,now feel tired , i think i need to run and have a sun life !

INCASE ICON SLIM BACKPACK: The Incase ICON is one of the best bags around, especially when it comes to short-form travel. However, for everyday usage, we actually prefer the pared-down Slim version, as you see here. It boasts many of the same features, but in a more svelte 16L [url=https://www.gobanney.com/collections/women-handbags]tote bags for women[/url] that's a bit more conducive to day-to-day life. That includes things like a polyester-based Woolenex exterior (which is naturally weather-resistant), a fully-padded and faux-fur-lined laptop sleeve and separate glasses pocket.
ReplyDeleteTHE NORTH FACE KABAN 2.0: Version 2.0 of TNF's beloved Kaban backpack brings with it some important updates. Along with gaining an extra 3L of capacity, it also boasts improved back panel padding, a built-in luggage pass-through, as well as a new side grab handle and some added interior organization. Of course, the original was [url=https://www.gobanney.com/collections/tote-bags]wholesale tote bags[/url] a stellar backpack, so the Kaban 2.0 retains things like its dual water bottle pockets, 15″ laptop compartment.
DSPTCH RIDGE PACK: DSPTCH may have gotten its start producing camera straps, but the California-based design studio has been quick to expand its offerings such that, these days, it makes everything from keychains to face coverings. With the Ridge Pack we've included here, the brand has engineered a [url=https://www.gobanney.com/collections/cooler-bags]best soft cooler bag[/url] streamlined silhouette based around an ultra-light shell-style closure.
MYSTERY RANCH URBAN ASSAULT PACK: Proof positive that tactical features can be beautifully integrated into more everyday carry-friendly gear, Mystery Ranch's Urban Assault Pack looks like it belongs in the city but has features you might likelier find in a battlefield-born bag. For starters, it comes with a rugged Cordura nylon exterior — imbuing it with a measure of weatherproofing, as well as puncture and slash resistance.
ARKTYPE DASHPACK II: For many folks, a loadout of everyday carry gear and work supplies need not eclipse the high-liter mark — making a bag like the Arktype Dashpack II (with its compact 15L capacity) a much better option than much of its competition. Small, however, does not [url=https://www.wellpromotion.com/]cosmetic bags[/url] sacrificing quality or toughness.
TOM BIHN SYNAPSE 19 BACKPACK: Versatility is the name of the game when it comes to the Tom Bihn Synapse 19 Backpack. And we mean that as literally as we can, because the brand built this backpack to be used in the city, office, trails, commuting, and everywhere in-between. And while it comes standard with much of the features you'd expect from a backpack of this nature, it also boasts some of the most customizable options of any on our list — including over a dozen different color combinations, two different exterior materials, and two optional organizational inclusions. But what really makes this bag stand apart is that it comes with a lifetime warranty.
AER TECH PACK 2: Technology has become so ubiquitous in daily life that it's actually kind of hard to find a profession that doesn't call for it on some level. As such, getting an everyday backpack that's uniquely designed for housing all that tech is a pretty damn good idea, especially if the bag in question is the [url=https://www.gobanney.com/collections/messenger-waist-bags]mens shoulder bags sale[/url] Tech Pack 2.
FILSON DRYDEN BALLISTIC NYLON BACKPACK: If you're the type to appreciate heritage styling, but you still want a bag with modern sensibilities, you definitely can't go wrong with the Filson Dryden Ballistic Nylon Backpack you see here. It might look like something to have been passed down for multiple generations, but it's actually [url=https://www.gobanney.com/collections/shopping-bags]reusable shopping bags wholesale[/url] from super-durable state-of-the-art Cordura ballistic nylon (as the name suggests).
