SANTA BARBARA LONG COURSE TRIATHLON - August 23, 2014



S - 1 mile | B - 34 mile | R - 10 mile  4:22:32 
#1/4 F (60-64)




Women 45+ waiting for race to begin

Post Race.. #1 and #2 Wm 60-64 -- whew!


 The last year that I competed in the Santa Barbara Long Course was 2008.  I had finished it in 3:55:51 that year.. but I was still training for marathons at that time... not so now.... so I knew that the run would be a challenge.  It was.. I had hoped for 9 minute miles.. but just couldn't pull it off. So my finish time of 4:22:32 wasn't bad.. just now what I had expected.   My swim was fast enough to be #5 out of our wave of Women 45+. and bike ride time was respectable.. my biggest concern was staying upright on the roads which were wet from the fog drip.  The run.... well, it was a struggle but I muscled through and finished strong!
