What a fun race the Nautica Malibu Olympic tri was! I was happy with my race; my first actual Olympic distance. I thought it would take me 3:30 or so, and it took me 2:48 instead!
The swim was actually the most challenging part; lots of swell, and I swear I could not swim a straight line. The bike was rolling, and I did have some trouble with my derailer, but I got that sorted out at Nytro yesterday. The run was... great! I used my new Suunto for the first time and tried to push myself as best I could.
The best part was having Mike there to help and support me! Thanks hun!
Only two bummers... (1) no celeb sightings (I guess they all do the shorter Classic distance... darn! and (2) Sherpa Mike and I guess the other person had the wetsuit, so alas, I left my lovely Orca Evo, now finally broken in, at the race! We'll see if the folks organizing the race can find it, but I'm doubtful. Argh!
