Sunday - Sept. 17

Portage Lakes Sprint Triathlon

Swim
 - 879 yds.
 - 18:44
 - 2:07 pace/100yds.
 - aveHR 145
 - maxHR 155
 - definitely still fatigued in the upper back and shoulders.  I elected to forego a wetsuit to challenge my open water swimming on purpose, which it very much did.  I got through it but it wasn't as pretty as I would have liked.

T1
 - 2:34.9
 - 0.19 mile distance between waters edge and bike start
 - aveHR 146
 - maxHR 158
 - nice not to see a HR spike upon exiting the water

Road Bike
 - 13.69 miles
 - 40:37.7
 - 20.2 ave mph
 - aveHR 153
 - maxHR 166
 - definitely feeling the quads but still a strong effort.  6th fastest bike split of the day, but I know I can go faster when fresh.

T2
 - 1:16.0
 - 0.05 miles
 - aveHR 131
 - maxHR 143

Road Run
 - 3.2 miles
 - 23:56.2
 - 7:28 pace
 - aveHR 160
 - maxHR 173
 - run felt the best of the three events and I was pushing as fast as possible without hitting the wall.  First race in a long while that I actually felt like I was running strong and with good form, not a shuffle, but actually striding.  A friends photo also shows me 'running'; foot, hip, body position all looking like it has purpose.  Very happy to find progress.
