Delta Tri 2010

It was another less than ideal weather day for the Delta Triathlon. But the race was fun as always and a success for everyone.

I'd like to send out special high fives to Fay, Jan, and Michelle for their races. All had great days on a cool windy day and looked really strong. And big congrats to Michelle for winning her age group. WOW!

My day went fairly well. I felt good about the swim, coming out of the pool about 30 seconds under my predicted time. The T1 transition was normal to a bit slow. The bike out leg was a challenge riding into a really stiff wind, but boy did the back leg fly! I just think the lack of serious time on the bike so far this year showed in a lack of power to overcome that wind. I had a good T2 to set off on the run but the run itself was a bit slow. Thinking back I think part of the issue was there was no one around to either chase or hold off. But I still ran a sub-24 min 5km, so I can't complain too much.

So another good early season triathlon, and now time to get ready for the Vancouver marathon next week and the UBC tri 2 weeks after that.
