Wow! I had a great day of racing yesterday in the IronMAC. I swam 35 lengths (25 meter pool = 875 meters total = 1/2 mile total), biked 4.9 miles, and ran 12.5 laps (1/5 mile track = 2.5 miles total).
I reached my goal of wanting to swim 16 laps (32 lengths)in the pool and wanting to run 12 laps on the track. I ALMOST hit my goal of biking 5 miles (.1 short!).
I wanted to earn at least 150 points (50 in each age group), and I managed to earn 55.4 in the swim (100 points for a 1 mile swim), 49 in the bike (100 points for a 10 mile bike), and 60 in the run (100 points for a 4 mile run), for a total of 164.4 points. (The points help equalize the events, making them more like an outdoor triathlon that has a different distances for each event).
I ended up getting 2nd place in my age group, so I won a really cool silver medal. I was 11th place out of 40 women overall. The most impressive stats are that I tied for SECOND place overall woman in the run, and I tied for THIRD place overall woman in the bike! My swim was tied for 17th place overall for woman, still in the top half.
Overall, very pleased with my performance. I need to work on transition times, especially between the swim and bike. Thank you to David, mom, and cousin Ken for coming to be my spectators!
