My overall time was 4:20 which was the fastest time of the day. There were 4 guys who registered as Elite’s and where not allowed to wear wetsuits like the AGers were, one of those guys, Marc Rosello got a 4:25. Aaron from RaceTri told me they would not have an overall winner because the race was different for the Elite and AGers, (makes sense, I am faster with a wetsuit, so the course was different for the Elites versus AGers). I’m really disappointed in my bike. For some reason I could not push very hard on the bike, my average heart rate was only 147, my speed was not what I hoped for. I felt that for the conditions I should have been able to be faster. I just couldn’t push the pedals at my highest level today. I felt great on the run for about 5 miles and then my speed dropped and my heart rate shot up, I spent the second half of the run running at the same speed I averaged for most of Ironman St George. (And IM St George was a much harder course, and everything was twice as long). Just a really bad day I guess, some day’s you’ve got it and some days you don’t. Days like today make me realize that Triathlon will never bring me happiness, but my Family sure does, I am so blessed to have my Wife and Kids! They do bring me happiness!
