Aug 18th - Tri for fun

On Saturday I finished a fun-tri that in Pleasanton, CA (east bay). At the nice early hour of 7am, Jess and I showed up with 9 minutes prior to the start. Luckily in wave 4 we had a bit more extra time. It was a fun tri, so no official times were taken, but I did still get marked up with my number (why?) and timed myself, for a finish time of around 1:13. 8:10 swim, 33 min bike, and 30 minute run, plus a few minutes here and there in the transition area. I had a great race, deciding to hang back in the swim til the fasties took off, and had a great bike and run ride.
Here's a map of the bike ride portion:

This coming weekend I need to switch into running gear - I am a last minute sub for hood to coast - the longest and biggest running relay race in the country, from Mt. Hood OR to the coast near portland!

I took a picture but it was blinded my my inappropriate flash from my cell phone - so sorry no pics :|

Happy training,
Rachael
