Patriot Triathlon

Today I did my 4th triathlon. It was my best race yet so I am pretty happy about that. My swim (400m) was done in 7:30, the bike (15.5 miles) was just around 60 minutes and the run (3.2 miles) was about 34 minutes. Total time 1:46 The swim was held in a pool. The bike was in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains so it seemed I was always going up or down, rarely flat. The run was also hilly and the middle mile of the run was on a "trail" - I thought it would be hard packed dirt but it was very loose and deep sand very similar to running on the beach. It was a challenging course and I tried to push myself a bit more - felt good!
