I stepped up to the full distance today — or at least close. I had a little out-of-the-way routing due to the tree that was being cut down and blocking the road on my bike course. Another race is scheduled for Friday and as distances continue to lengthen, it may be redesignated to a Sprint Tri instead of a the Super Sprint it was previously.

I extended the bike segment today as I build up in the last week of training. (Don’t worry the endless Tri Updates are almost over :D ) Hmm. Comparing the times from yesterday and today, I wonder if we accidently did an extra lap in confusion of the race.

The course underwent a few last minute changes and then we were off. While I had the best swim & bike times on the course my longer transition times slowed me to a third place finish. I am at a loss for why my bike and run times were slower than my last time trial, especially since I had two days of rest.

Shaved 4 minutes off my time, mostly in the biking leg. I really do need to remember to take my bike off the rack before I go and start swimming.
