That's not really the name of the event, but I have issues with purposely mispelled words. So, I am renaming this event. Results can be found here.
Fancy digs right on the lake and 10 minutes from the race start.
This is the second year I have raced here so the course was familiar. However, the bike course was changed. It was two 5.5 mile loops with a two mile section of road to start and finish. Coming off a solid race at Eureka Springs I had high hope for this race, really wanted my first podium finish.
Swim:
There were actually two triathlons going at the same time, a sprint road tri and the Xterra. Unfortunetly, the Xterra swim started as wave three of the day so I had to swim through 20-30 swimmers. I was good training for me and I can definetly say that I have made great improvements with my open water swimming. Out of the water in 16:47 for the 880yds, 1st in my AG.
Bike:
This time I had my nutrition taped to my top tube(last race I forgot my gels at T1). Overall I am pleased with my bike. I had a bit of a drop mid way through the first lap, but I found my legs for the second lap. 15 miles in 1:28.
Run:
Again, I am pleased with the run I did. 3.5 mile in 34 minutes
Overall, I missed the podium for my AG by less than 7 minutes and first by 12. Loved the course and i am going back in October for the Epic.
