Parlee Beach triathlon

I did the Parlee Beach triathlon this past weekend again. I was happy with my performance although, as with other triathlons this year, I have been noticing my placing is lower (ie 17th as opposed to 14th last year and 6 or 7th the year before). I was thinking initially that i am getting older and my friends are teasing me a bit about this. I looked at my stats from previous years and I honestly think its because the competition is getting tougher. My bike time was about the same as it was in 2007 when i came 6th overall. My bike time this past weekend which was 18th would have been the 4th or 5th fastest bike time in 2007 or 2008. My run time this year was a minute faster than last year. The swim was very short this year so its hard to compare that time. I am going to do the Sackville sprint triathlon this comming saturday. Between now and then, I may swim once or twice and run once or twice and that will be it. I am still doing hot yoga about 3 times a week and enjoying that. I am gaining flexibility all around and have fewer aches and pains. (my right foot and knee were paining in the past). I will do the Schubie triathlon in Sept and after that i am not sure what my goals will be for the fall. I might do the Terry Fox run across the fixed link.
