3rd Triathlon -- alot better than the first two.

This blog will not be as detailed as I have waited wayyy too long to do my recap.  I will simply say that this was by far my best performance and I felt very good about my results. 

The morning of the event, I was hyped. 

I was nervous with the swim because my previous swim was herendous at Lake Lanier.  Over the course of the month, I hired Megan Melgaard as my swim coach. She got my stroke presentable and I used less energy swimming longer distances. 

Even with this new improve swim stroke and technique, I was nervous.  Needless to say I cut my swim time in half at this triathlon finishing 1/3 of a mile in 14 minutes.  A considerable improvement from 30 minutes previously.

When I got to my location, I was ready.  I setup my spot and chilled out.

When I did my swim, I just kept telling myself to keep going.  When I got out of the water, I was so happy, I did a happy dance. LOL

The bike was about the same basically avg a little under 17 mph.  I wont round up, even though I am tempted.  My transition from the swim to the bike took 1:17.



My running surprised me.  I couldnt believe that I kept my basic 10 minute mile after the swim and bike.  I finished the 3K in 30 minutes. Although I did better than I thought running, I got a cramp after exiting the bike.

I had a great time and Peachtree City, I must say, you all do a great job of hosting the triathlon.  I would definitely do it again.

Afterwards, we went to IHOP.  That's our victory brunch tradition!
