I am not a seasoned triathlete, so I literally train for months, just for a sprint. Well, I get to my race this morning to find out its a duathlon - run/bike/run. I hate running, I’m very strong swimmer, a pretty good biker, and a HORRIBLE runner.

I went to check the beach out, and it was a lake. We swam in 5 foot swells last year!! I have a feelign that someone saw lightening at 5am, and then made the decision at that point. Even though it continually cleared up for the hour before the start. VERY DISAPPOINTED. Heck, most of us jumped in the ocean after the race to cool off!

Regardless, I vastly improved my times from last year - so that’s a good thing - I guess I just wish I had a chance to compare apples to apples and see if I could have bettered my swim time.

Many thanks to everyone at ontri . .you guys are my lifeblood when it comes to training.
