Mixed results

I finished 30th out of about 90 people in the Fredericton triathlon last week. That is about the lowest placing i have had in the last 5 years in a Maritime triathlon. It was not completely a disaster, though. there were a lot of really good triathletes in the race but my biking was definitely weak. My running, on the other hand, was the best its been in a few years. My run time was 4 minutes faster than last year over 10 k and my bike time was 4 minutes slower. I would say there is not much difference in my swim time so i don't think my overall perfomance was much worse than last year when i finished 19th. I have been taking it a bit easy in terms of training but i have also been racing a lot since May. I have done something just about every weekend.

On Monday (day after the triathlon) i went out with a friend who was visiting and did a hard 90 k up around Malpaque and Kensington and back. I like that route and plan to do it again a few times this summer. I swam tuesday morning and did hot yoga Tuesday afternoon. I did hot yoga on Wednesday and, today, I am going to go running at lunch and do the cycle pei rec ride tonight. I am doing the cycle pei duathlon on Saturday.
