Slippery Rock Triathlon

With my half Ironman right around the corner, I wanted to get a little practice on the new Felt and new Zipps. At the last minute, Jen, Drew, and I decided to head up to Slippery Rock University for a sprint triathlon that supported CF.

The swim was a 400 yard pool swim which was 16 total lengths. I was in the first heat, and swam my fastest time at this distance which was 5:55.

I had a fast transition, and found myself in first place behind one of the teams. I hammered on the bike, and averaged around 23 mph, but didn't have anyone to push me so I felt like I could of went faster. The bike was seven loops and 9.6 miles total.

I felt good on the run, but again didn't have anyone push me. I ran a little under six minute mile pace for the 2.5 mile run.

Overall the bike felt good, and I won my first tri of the season even though it was pretty small.
