So it ends, or does it? Race say was amazing! The whole weekend was good and I particularly enjoyed spending the time with good friends. It was great to train and receive encouragement from them. I don't think I would have ever done a triathlon if it weren't for Steve and Isaac.
By the way, I may have slacked off on updating my blog the last few weeks before the race but I didn't slack off on the training. The last 2 weeks before were filled with intense workouts almost everyday. It took up a lot of time, along with finals, so I never took time to record and update my training.
My race time wasn't as good as I would have liked but I'm not too disappointed. My swim was the biggest problem. I wasn't really ready for it, I made the mistake of thinking I could sort of just get by with only doing a little training for it. At least I learned my lesson. I felt pretty good about the bike and transition times, although I could have done better on those if the swim hadn't worn me out. Here are my times:
Swim: 50:56 Overall Position: 269 out of 333
T1: 3:08 Division Position: 12 out of 13
Bike: 1:07:58
T2: 1:32
Run: 1:01:49
Total: 3:05:23
As you can see, I didn't do all that well, but I got through it and I felt good afterwards. Next time I'll do better. That's right, there will be a next time.

Now that the SGTri is over, it's about time I get ready for the Bear Lake Mountain Tropic Half Ironman!
Isaac talked me into doing it with him in August. I know it's crazy. I'm also hoping that Steve, Isaac, and I can all do the Kokopelli Tri in September. It's the twin to the SGTri. Same course, different season.
Wish me luck!
