Mission accomplished: completed the 900m open water swim with enough left over to finish the bike and run. Five Eight months ago I couldn’t swim more than 50m without stopping, clinging, and gasping for breath. To the JCC enforcers who helped my swim cardio and rhythm, to the support staff who took the class with me and still swims faster with no training at all, and to my training partner who meets me out swimming 3 times a week, and got dared into the whole Tri thing in the first place, thank you! An open-water 900m in 24 minutes is an accomplishment, for me anyhow.
Good training plan: without my focus on the swim, I would not have made it out of the water let alone having anything left for the rest.
Good race plan: hydration and eating was great, my heart rate settled down on the bike, and transitions were quick and smooth. Except for the tired walk out of the water, I even jogged the transitions.
Hey congrats - that's awesome!
