Perfect weather and a sold out crowd of over 300 for the annual Monroe Falls Sprint Triathlon (400 meter swim- 12 mile bike-3 mile run)

After a solid 20 minute warm up ( how Henry can start with no warm up is a medical miracle!!), swim went ok,  not as good as I would have liked, but came out of the water in 34th overall,2nd in my age group. Henry had a great swim, was just ahead of me, and had one of his best transitions to hold His lead on the bike

Had a solid Bike- the Trek Tri bike really makes a difference- averaged 21.6 mph, but got edged out by Henry who averaged over 22 mph, so ended up with 2nd fastest bike time in my age group, 21st overall.

The second transition went better, started run and caught Henry (finally!!)just out of transition- run went great, had 14th fastest run time- felt solid for the whole race, ended up winning my age group ( Henry was a solid second)- and ended up 16th overall.

As soon as race was over, jumped on road bike, and got in a solid 30 mile ride through the valley- a great day and great workout!!
