Swim…Bike…Run…

Yesterday was the GAME ON! Ponte Vedra Beach Triathlon, offering both a Sprint and Olympic distance event. I participated in the later and was fortunate enough to have a solid day and break the tape.

However, the day started off a bit hectic when my shifting was completely dead as I went to do a warmup spin. Not sure if I had time to troubleshoot, I called @wendyfejfar to save the day. Being a close, hometown race, she was able to quickly bring out my old TT-bike. I switched my nutrition and computer over, and just had time to get it racked before heading down to the start.

We had a fairly rough water swim and strong north winds on the bike, but the weather was beautiful for the run.

My mind just went into autopilot and I focused on a good smooth day and I was fortunate to ride some of the final six miles of the bike, and the bulk of the run pushing with the sprint-distance winner, @austinrstory .

I still truly feel there is no better training for an A-race, than finding a shorter, local race to go through the paces. Plus, it helps support your local race directors and the overall triathlon scene!!! Thanks coach @justindaerr for working this into the final Ironman Jacksonville build for me!

Also, thanks for the 🎥 to @rossrunz , @jensylva and @weareneutralservice !!!

Now, get out and go race!!!
