A fun race where the impending storm held off long enough for the competitors to stay dry. I had a lot of trouble on the run... I just didn't have my legs. The swim was nice, and I actually felt like I could have pushed myself a little harder so that's good. I plan on spending the offseason making my swimming my strongest element. The bike was good, but difficult. I had never raced 30km before, and I started off really fast and strong, but then let up for the last 10km because I wanted to save some energy for the run. Well, that didn't really work out too well as I nearly gave up on the run. I didn't, but it was very close! Basically, I need to do more hill training if I'm going to be successful next year. 25th Sideroad (by Tangle Creek Golf Course) is the perfect road to brick on. It's all hills, very similar to Bala. Can't wait for the flat course of Barrie now!!!
What I learned from this race: I need to run a lot more! Maybe that's why I plan on doing 2 half marathons this fall!
