19th female, 2nd in age group (there were only two, but hey, I'll take it). The swim is always a toss-up for me. I can have a decent day and a not so decent day. Today was the latter. It took m 21:10 minutes to get out of the water. In open water swims in lakes in this area, with so much algae and other stuff in the water, I sometimes start wheezing as soon as I get in. Today was one of those, so ended up doing the breast stroke most of the way which is very inefficient. I was glad to get out of the water!
The mountain bike course was challenging but not technical. The run was not too hard, but I wore the wrong shoes, thinking more of it would be on pavement. I learn something from every race.
Supposed to do the olympic distance tomorrow, but not sure yet if I will - if it were only the bike and run, yes, but with the poor day on the swim today, I'll have to see how I feel in the morning.
