Today was an important day in my training. I learned so many things.
1. I have the best support group on the planet. I had my own cheering section. Thanks Tina, Katie, Max and Danielle (my wife and kids). Thanks Mary Anne (my good friend and Danielle's mom). Thanks Tresa and Bella (our close friends). You guys mad me feel great during and after the race.
2. I am making good progress toward my goal and have a long way to go.
3. My bike fitness is good. I made it as high as 4rth overall from about 50th before having mechanical problems.
4. Never take a new bike to an important race.
5. Always give help to a fellow competitor. It makes u feel good.
6. Settle in on the swim asap. I swam over 500 yards before I settled down and trusted what I has learned in training.
7. I need to do more open water swimming and maybe some more smaller triathlons.
8. A 4 mile run can feel like a marathon if the terrain is brutal.
9. My current age group is tough! The overall winner was 45 and 6 of the top 15 were between 45 and 49.
It was a great experience. I finished 17th in a field of over 137 and 6th in my age group. I didn't take home a medal but I still felt victory.
Mahn Sae!
Try harder and Never give up!
