The water was around 74, but the air was much cooler so the water didn&#8217;t feel shockingly cold. \u00a0I just did my thing and didn&#8217;t push. \u00a0I was aiming for 20 minutes, hoping I would be under 22.<\/p>\n<p>Swim: .46 miles &#8211; 19:28<\/p>\n<p>Into T1. \u00a0My spot was the furthest it could be from the swim entry, but since I&#8217;m too lazy to get pedicures, my feet are nice and prepared for running through a parking lot barefoot.<\/p>\n<p>T1: 1:50<\/p>\n<p>Onto the bike course. \u00a0The part I dreaded the most.<\/p>\n<p>This is the elevation profile.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/elbowglitter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Screenshot-2014-08-03-17.54.30.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2933\" src=\"http:\/\/elbowglitter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Screenshot-2014-08-03-17.54.30.png\" alt=\"Screenshot 2014-08-03 17.54.30\" width=\"773\" height=\"227\" srcset=\"http:\/\/elbowglitter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Screenshot-2014-08-03-17.54.30.png 773w, http:\/\/elbowglitter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Screenshot-2014-08-03-17.54.30-300x88.png 300w, http:\/\/elbowglitter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Screenshot-2014-08-03-17.54.30-500x146.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 773px) 100vw, 773px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I know what you&#8217;re thinking. \u00a0That hill from just after mile 8 up to just before 14 looks awful.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not the bad part. \u00a0The worst part is that little hill right around mile 2. \u00a0Not that the long uphill was all that fun &#8211; I just cranked along at 5-6 mph. \u00a0Nothing speedy, but I just kept going \u00a0The climb at 2 scared me though. \u00a0I worried I would have to get off my bike and walk it. \u00a0No shame in doing that, of course. \u00a0But I just didn&#8217;t want to have to. \u00a0I wanted to bike the whole thing.<\/p>\n<p>And I did! \u00a0Such a victory.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the rain meant that I couldn&#8217;t fly down the course as much as I wanted, since I&#8217;m more cautious on wet pavement. \u00a0But I still had a pretty great time. \u00a0I was thinking that if I had a good day I could do it in 1:15. \u00a0Given the rain, I&#8217;m really happy with how I ended up. \u00a0Barely over my goal.<\/p>\n<p>Bike: 15 miles &#8211; 1:15:43<\/p>\n<p>And transition again. \u00a0Didn&#8217;t grab my handheld water bottle when I headed back out, but I wasn&#8217;t too worried.<\/p>\n<p>As I ran through to the run exit, I passed <a href=\"http:\/\/jonteter.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jon<\/a> and Bob in transition. \u00a0They were also doing the sprint and they were already DONE! \u00a0I gave them a look and then got some high fives. \u00a0I figured they&#8217;d finish around an hour before I did, so I wasn&#8217;t all that surprised to see them, but it was still pretty funny.<\/p>\n<p>T2: 1:33<\/p>\n<p>And on to my most hated\u00a0part of the race. \u00a0I know what you&#8217;re thinking &#8211; if I was dreading the bike and I hate the run, why do I do it? \u00a0Because I love the challenge. \u00a0And I don&#8217;t really hate the run &#8211; I just like it the least. \u00a0It doesn&#8217;t help that that&#8217;s the part where my body is the most exhausted.<\/p>\n<p>I stuck with my 1:1 pattern, and thankfully, this time, my watch displayed my pace in miles instead of kilometers. \u00a0My first mile was slow and a bit of a slog, but I definitely picked it up. \u00a0In the beginning, my left calf was incredibly tight and I worried it wouldn&#8217;t loosen up, but around mile 3, it seemed to stretch out. \u00a0Probably because of the giant uphill I ended up walking. \u00a0I was hoping for under 45 minutes for this 5k, but knew it was very possible I would be over. \u00a0Ultimately, I was pleased. \u00a0A 13:30 pace is rocking for me!<\/p>\n<p>Run: 3.1 miles &#8211; 41:49<\/p>\n<p>Into the finish and I was done! \u00a02:20:22. \u00a0Certainly pleased! \u00a0I was the second Athena to come in, but they were only awarding one medal in the category, so no extra bling for me. \u00a0I was pretty eager to see her results though &#8211; I wanted to know if she was ahead the whole time or if she passed me somewhere. \u00a0Basically, I wanted to know what leg I would have had to improve to win the category. \u00a0Answer? \u00a0All of them. \u00a0She had a rocking race and while I could have feasibly caught her on the swim or bike, she rocked the run. \u00a0I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll see her at another local race and I&#8217;ll have to introduce myself. It&#8217;s always awesome to meet other Athenas.<\/p>\n<p>And now I am tired. \u00a0Very, very tired. \u00a0Now onto training for IronGirl Columbia and Giant Acorn Olympic. \u00a0Oh, yes, and the half marathon I&#8217;m running this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, I did the Fort Ritchie Sprint Triathlon. \u00a0Spoiler alert: I finished!
