I am laying in my bed, totally exhausted from racing today. My body is throbbing and I am pretty sure that I got sunburned on my shoulders. Sleeveless shirts are the mark of a triathlete but 30 miles in Colorado sun has their point of reckoning as well. I raced the course in 2 hours and 26 minutes. Two 46 minute laps and a 54 to close out the business at hand. I blame a cross wind and limited opportunity to pace someone for my lackluster performance on the final lap. I got out ahead of some folks in my category but there was a big gap between us and anyone else.
Overall, I am pretty happy with how things went even if my body is reeling in pain. I loved the course and how my Vandy performed. I also loved that I gave it my all. I mean the tanks were dry when I crossed the finish line. It was nice getting a fast start and backing it up with a time to be proud of. Next year I plan to race the Clydesdale category to see how that goes. I reckon that I will be near the top of my game in terms of how hard I can push it since it will be only a few weeks prior to starting Leadman. What can I say except that Bear Creek is one of those races that I use as an anchor to my life. No matter how good or bad I do, I always look forward to dropping the hammer and playing hard at Bear Creek Park.
