1 sprint triathlon down. I placed first in Athena division. Compared to my last tri in 2014, I was only 1 min slower on the swim and 4 min slower on the bike. The run was ugly though. It was 92 degrees and I was a bit overheated. Going to work on hill repeats in both running and biking. Next tri is in 28 days with double the distance on the swim so I also need to work on my endurance in the lake/pool too. I joined the US Masters Swimteam and got free access to a 25m lap pool just 45 minutes from me. It sure beats paying for a monthly gym membership.
I don't have any soreness at all today. I keep wondering if I pushed myself enough yesterday during the race. All other times when I have ran marathons or halves, I've always had some calf tightness or general soreness for a day or two after. I wonder if it is my diet making inflammation lessen?!?!? Surely I'm not better trained than I was in 2014...
