J-Hawk Earlybird Triathlon, April 25, 2010. Whitewater, WI. 50 degrees, wind and drizzle.

My race results & stats:

Placed 18th/101 females

Placed 4th in my age group (out of 9)

66th/131 compared to the males

83/232 overall

Swim 500 yards in 9:39, T1 3:38, Bike 13.7 miles in 48:25 (avg 17.4 pace), T2 2:06, Run 3.1 miles in 26:03 (8:04 pace).

Finish time 1:29:51.

Not bad for the first tri of the season. Not too disappointed about not placing for a metal - the first and second place in my age group were in the "elite" category, so I would have only had a chance at 3rd, but my bike time was 6 1/2 minutes slower than the girl who got it. Guess I need a little more training with the uphills against the wind in drizzle at 50 degrees.

Next tri is not until July 11th at Pewaukee Lake. Also a sprint distance. Hopefully warm enough to bike/run without needing the long sleeve jersey on.

New for this year will be my attempt at an Olympic distance tri on July 25th at Ottawa Lake. (1/2 mile swim, 24.8 mile bike, 6.2 mile run).

Keep on training!
