Rec Plex Triathlon
Sunday, June 19, 2005
I spent Father's Day morning out in St. Peters at the 2005 Rec Plex Triathlon. 500 Yard Swim - 20 Mile Bike - 4.7 Mile Run
This was my third year participating in this race. My main goal was to use this race as solid training for Vineman. Most importantly, to get a 5 mile run in after a good hard bike. My other goal of trying to beat my times from the previous two years was blown up immediately when I dropped my chain 3 times at the start of the bike.
Here is how I finished compared to last year:
TOTAL TIME = 2:03:36 vs. 2:01:51
Swim Time = 10:53 vs 13:42
Bike Time = 1:13:01 vs. 1:08:11 (this is where I got killed - I biked hard once I got my chain on)
Run Time = 39:42 (8:16 avg) vs. 39:58 (8:37 avg)
While my time was not great, my fitness level was far superior then in past years. I came across the finish feeling good.
