1:36:03!
My time today was 1 hour 36 minutes and 3 seconds! A new personal best for me! Last year's time was 1:39:11. The time that I have from today is the unofficial time. I left before they posted the official results. There are a series of triathlons going on at the location and once the last one began they would post the official times. I'll check the website in a couple of days to see my official times with the splits. I am very happy with my time and I came in only 18 minutes behind the leader for my age bracket which I am tickled with. I also came in about 8 1/2 minutes behind one of my dad's riding buddies and 28 behind my uncle.
I ran all of the first mile and then ran & walked the remainder of the run portion. Praise God that my knee didn't give me any problems today! I thought it was going to as soon as I started to run this morning and so I prayed asking for there to be no problems with it this morning. I didn't have any problems!! I believe I twisted it a couple weeks ago and had to stop running to let it heal. I'll give it a little more rest before starting to run again.
Last night was quite "fun". After work, I decided I was going to take my bike over and leave it there. Since my bike has been sitting on the trainer (not being used for the most part) the tires were flat. I blew up my rear tire and took a close look at it. It was starting to crack. David found a large crack in my front tire. So it was off to Chainwheel Drive (which is a good 30 minute drive in the opposite direction from where I was planning on going) to buy new tires. I bought two new tires, lubricant for my bike chain, and Gu (instead of the bars). All of this because I didn't think about checking my tires before and even two weeks ago when my dad and I went there to get his new helmet. Made a much longer trip because of an accident which closed a lane of the highway with everyone in the others stopping to gawk at the accident in the process. We left Chainwheel at 7:05 and had to be in Land O'Lakes by 8. Thankfully, they left the transition area open until 9 so I could get the tires changed on the bike and everything else. Thank you David!!! You don't know how much I appreciate what you did last night!! Just to let you know...I didn't have a flat tire when I got there this morning nor one on the ride! Not that I expected to have one but you never know once you put in new tubes (not knowing if they got pinched or whatnot).
I'll add pictures to my rotating set to the right. The blogger is having technical difficulties adding pictures to my blog today.
Talk to you later. Off to scrap!
