Shadow Creek Sprint Tri... DONE!!

So, this is done!  It started harder than I thought.  I was not enjoying the swim that much, but I remembered what the goal was and some tips I read online, and got through it.  Fortunately the space was very open, so i did not have any of the kicking and splashing that usually happens, so it was just another opern water swim.

The transition to the bike was good.  I took it slow, decided not to overdo it.  We'll see the time, but I think it will be around the 2:00 mark.    The bike itself was awesome, felt really good the whole time.  Started slower, to warm up the legs, and that was a good strategy for me.  The only misshap was that I dropped my water bottle at mile 4.... and never saw it again.  Good thing I had already taken 2 sips, but the next 12 miles were dry.

To the run:  it felt harder at start, but I did not let up.  It turns out I was probably running faster than what I thought at the moment, but we'll see that in the results.

Overall, I believe I did at least the 1:32 I had as a goal, if not better.  I will post official results as soon as I get them, and as before, compare to the 750m/12.1mi/3.12mi "standard" Sprint Tri.  In the meantime, here are some pics.
