It was a USAT Meet. We did the Sprint Version, .35 mile swim (about 600 yards), 15 mile bike and 5k (3.2 mile) run. We started training in June when MrsZ bought her a Fuji Finest 2.0 bike and I purchased a Cannondale CAAD 9 -6 bike. I love the Cannondale, it is the most comfortable bike I have ever owned. We signed up for adult swimming classes at the local college during the summer and have been swimming 3 nights a week. The instructor is helping us with endurance and freestyle. Poor MrsZ can smoke me in the pool but her excitement level was so high during the swim she couldn't catch her breath and ended up swimming most of it doing the sidestroke (today her hips are killing her). It was our first ever meet and the intention was not to worry about what place we finished but to get experience doing it for the first time.
The swim was wild as there were hundred of these Large round mellon shaped jellyfish. They do not sting but when I was swimming I kept thinking I was hitting another swimmer in the head and when I looked it was these jellyfish. I shattered my average speed on a bike but I paid for it during the run ( I use a Garmin 310XT but did not look at it during the ride so I didn't know what pace I was going (20mph)). I could hardly walk when I got off the bike. I had to walk the first mile of the run before I could get my legs to cooperate with my brain.
The transitions were where I did the worst, I was way too slow but again I wasn't sure exacty how to proceed. Like walking the bike out of the transition area before you can mount them, trying to go fast but at the same time trying to catch your breath and put your shoes on.
Would you believe a 78 year old man finished in 19th place out of 120!!!!
All and all it was a blast and we are going to recover and sign up for more!!! I just need to practice more Bike to Run bricks!!!
