Lost posting

I did a post about the Fredericton triathlon but must have forgot to post it or did something wrong. I was reasonably happy with my performance on the weekend. I had a solid swim of 26 mins. and a decent bike of 1:13 and an ok run of 48 minutes. I tend to judge my performance a bit by how others did. (I have been doing triathlons long enough to know where I fit in relative to others in the Maritimes.) My placing was 19th out of 80 which might be a fews places lower than usual for me but I didn't feel too bad when I realized that between 15th and 19th there was about a 25 second difference. I had plenty of gas left in the tank and should have pushed a bit harder. I could have run a bit faster but for my first Olympic triathlon of the season, it wasn't bad. It was fun to see the tdisc guys finish their first triathlon and congrats to them for doing it. Regarding my run, I noticed that the guy who came 12th (who is usually a fairly elite triathlete) had a slower run time than me so I didn't feel too bad.

I was going to get right back to my ironman training yesterday but the weather was bad so I took the day off. I swam this morning in a pool that was extremely crowded and people who could barely swim were jumping in lanes with relatively fast swimmers. The pool staff could organize things a bit better with signs (which they have) I plan to cycle for 2 hours after work today. This is the start of the weeks of long training sessions and you can't miss any of them. This Saturday, for example, I am supposed to bike for 5:15 hours and then run an hour. Six hours and 15 minutes of exercise in one day is a lot of exercise. As well, I have all kinds of social things I want to try and fit in. We will see how it goes.
