"not the results I had hoped for"
I felt really confident going into this race, based on my current training results. Oh how that went south quickly. I headed out on the swim with high hopes of a top 3 finish; however once in the water things were not feeling well. Approx. 400M into the swim was the final turn, at this point is when things headed south. Due to the gray water, gray sky and dirty goggles I went to make the last turn and headed back in the same direction that I just came from. The wrong direction swim lasted for a couple of minutes before realizing that I was off course. Once I realized this I readjusted and headed towards the shore, again getting off course. All in all I lost approx. 4.5min on the swim. After coming out of the water I seemed more tired after 500M than after a 1500M swim. Now onto the bike, I felt ok on the bike for the first half of the ride and then finally my legs released and I was ready to go. I felt really good on the second half of the ride and going into the run. I was excited about the run, as it's been the split that I have spent the most time working on over the past couple of months. Things started well and ended well for the run and I was able to turn in a time that was 2 minutes faster than my typical 5k race pace. Overall the race went ok; however I will be expecting a much better result at the LA Tri.
