short version: i'm over it.
long version: hmmmm....where to begin. how 'bout the swim. makes sense. the swim was tough. big waves, current and poor sighting kicked me out a little farther than i'd like to have been after the first buoy. popped up at just under my goal time. that would be the last time for the day that i'd make one of my goals.
transition. bastard fucking sand. the transition was even FURTHER inland than the transition for BOL!!!!! going up that hill in the sand was not conducive to bringing my HR down prior to the run. i was able to get my brace on without a problem, the whole transition was actually really quick. the part that killed me was the damn uphill sand run. well, it was more of a walk actually. it screwed my HR, it ate my calves. took me about 10 min into the run to get over the tightness in my calves.
the run was actually pretty good. couple of us females rooted each other each time we passed. i'm pleased i was able to run it all without a problem. my run time was 2 min slower than my goal, but hell, my transition time was 2 min slower than my goal too.
as for my run and i, well, we're still only at the 'ass-out hug' stage. haven't even made it to first base yet. i'd say we're growing closer together. it's a slow process. i'm not rushing it. i'm going to abandon that metaphor while it remains PG. you're welcome.
decided i'm most likely NOT doing playa del run. it's an unnecessary blow to my ego. i know i suck at the run. why do a race that showcases that? for the practice? uh, i can practice at home. granted my tub is small, but i can do a couple laps and hop out, whip off my wetsuit and go. it's obvious that or this first season, my swim and bike are going to carry my run. i'm perfectly fine with that.
so, whatever. i'm over it. looking forward to the rest of this weekend!!!
