UVAS South Bay Triathlon XIV, May 20th, 2007

After the disastrous Wildflower Half IM race, I had to get back on the saddle and put that one behind me. The UVAS South Bay Triathlon XIV was a great opportunity. It's a .75 mile swim, 16 mile bike and 5 mile run. I think shorter distance works better for me, at least it is easier to train for. Also, it's a local race so I can sleep in my own bed the night before the race.

The start of the swim

I am wearing a ligh blue swim cap :-)

I had my best swim in a race so far, the lake was very calm and for the first time I was able to swim in a straight line.
0.75 Mile
Swim time: 28:24s

The bike course was a nice and easy 16 miles around the reservoir, It had a steep climb at mile 11 for about half mile, some rolling hills but mostly flat. No head wind this time, no wind at all!


16 Miles
Bike time: 50:50s

Felt good on the run.

5 Miles
Run time: 37:47s

This was a great race for redemption.

Finish Time: 2:00:07s
