I decided late to do the Benbrook Women's Sprint Tri yesterday. I kept flopping back and forth on whether to do it or not. I did and it was fun!! I arrived early~around 5:40 to tranisition. I went by myself, so there was no stress!!. I got set up and noticed that there were only 3 bikes on my rack. I had all of this room. It was great. I sat and set up and then walked around to see if I knew anyone. I had heard rumors about some Fit2trainers going. I found 2, former Irongirls. It was great to see them. The weather was perfect. Cold at the start and fabulous by the end. I think it was only 70 degrees when I finished at 10am. It was a 300m pool swim so I knew I'd be comfortable. After that was a 13.8 mile bike ride. A 5K run followed the ride. I felt good the whole time. Exept my legs were noodley at the dismount line and I fell. Oops. Not a crash, just a tumble. Hahaha. Here is the break down with comparisons from Irongirl in July.
Swim 300m~6:36 (2:12 pace)
Swim July 500m OW~14:18 (2:52pace)
T1~2:05 (I thought I was quicker)

Overall time: 1:37:17
Overall time July:1:48:50
Progress feels so good!! I did not have any dizziness, numbness, or otherwise weird Horner's syndrome stuff. Yay!! Cooler weather does a body good!!

Way to go!
Impressive shaving off all that time - you go!

Congratulations!! Woo hoo!
Great job!
Greetings from Montana, where my first tri was an impromptu one in NY. I know that feeling "should I, shouldnt I", but from your Biblical reference on your profile, sounds like a case of Proverbs 3:5-6
Now that we run (and run!) a bed and breakfast my triathlon usually consists of a daily trail run, run after guests :) and of course riding my endurance horse. Tevis here we come
Way to go on the time!
Nice job!
