okay, so i should get over myself...i made up a whole 4 minutes over last year, was slightly faster in the swim and on the bike, but they both sucked....
i should have been way better in the pool. i know, i lied, and told my lane mates that I'd probably take 25-30 minutes, and placed my self at the back of the pack at the start, thinking that if i felt cool i could pass people at the ends of the pool, or not. i hate passing people in between, for one thing, the lanes at coronation are so narrow, and there were so many in our lane, there's just no way i could have without a head on collision, and no mater how close i was to the guy in front of me he just wouldn't take a hint. but that i guess okay, i drafted, and he was just following about 4 guys ahead of him...so i sort of screwed myself, but still, I've been swimming well....so i was hopping to break 20 minutes easily, but maybe next year..and maybe life will be better when i can swim on open water?
the bike was just weird....i' ridin' stronger, and i love doing groat road...it's why i sign up for this race every year...but my get up and go just got up and left...still, faster then last year, but not fast enough. is it the bike???...i'm thinking....yes, but this bike has to take me over richter pass and yellow lake in august, so i better just get used to it. .....
and the run, the less said about the run the better. when i ran i felt good, and only really walked at the water stations....and, well, the portapotty stop probably affected my time...but again, it's got to get, at least stronger....
oh well, am gonna take today to reflect, and ponder, and look to the future. i think my training is pretty spot on for the great white north 1/2 ironman, and for penticton...just have to keep to the program, trust the program, and, um, what ever happens happens right?
