1st place Overall Female Winner! See Jane Run Triathlon

This morning, I had an amazing race at the See Jane Run Triathlon in Pleasanton.  This was a sprint distance triathlon with a 400 yrd swim, 11 mile bike and 3 mile run.  I completed the race in just over an hour and came in 1st place in my age group, out of 121 women and 1st place overall out of 700!  I am so excited.  It was extra special that John and Madison were able to attend and watch me for the first time.  This has been a great week in so many ways. Thanks all for your support! And special thanks to Racevine.com for giving me the free entry into this race and to Sugoi for letting me race with the brand champions tri suit!

Today's Training - Spin class followed by 15 min transition run

So I have determined that the Garmin 405 has actually become a hindrance to my objective to increase my run speed.  I am starting a new approach to not using it and instead, focusing on how to listen to my body and run appropriately.  We will see how this goes!!  I am definitely thinking that I will not use the Garmin on my next two races.  Just run, forget obsessing what speed I am at and just do it!
