Well I was back in Lake Placid this week for vacation and High Peaks Cyclery is still running their mini-tri series. So naturally I wanted to give it a go to see if things have improved since I last did it. The short answer is yes but by exactly how much I don't know. For the first time I DNF which I will go into below.
Swim 8:06 / Bike ~36:30 / Run didn't start
Swim was good, I went at about 90% and still 2:30 faster than when I did this before. For me this was a good test of doing an open water swim without a wet suit. Given my result I will be skipping the wet suit for the Marshman.
Bike was good and bad. Bad because I had a flat - my first on the road, ever. It took me 15 min to change 5 of which was due to figuring out the CO2 cartridge. My actual bike time was the ~36:30 which was good because I was averaging well over 20mph.
Run by the time I got back to transition I was mentally out of it and decided to call it a day and get back to dinner with my family.
I was pleased with how I did, when looking at the final results I was disappointed the race didn't go better because I think I would have won the 30-39 age group.
