Great weather, a sell out crowd, and a early 7 am start Sunday at Monroe Falls.
Had a first for me, coming out of the swim, and seeing a full rack of bikes! Had a great swim, 2nd or 3rd out of water, with Henry right on my heels. I had a good transition, and bike went well, but was surprised with 2 miles from the end of bike, Henry pulling up next to me! Great bike Henry! I averaged 21.7 on the bike, and was able to keep Henry from passing me , and had another good transition, almost went into shock when I saw Henry following me out of transition!! ( Henry is not known for fast transitions- this was by far His best race, and huge improvement on transition times)
Run went well, finished in just over 22 minutes (7:19 pace), total race time of 1:04:05, a 1 & 1/2 minute improvement from 2010.
I finished first in my class-31st overall, Henry came in 2nd, and Paul had a great racing finishing third, and making it a Team sweep in our class.
