Tejas Triathlon

Sunday I did the Tejas Triathlon in Sugar Land. This was just a sprint tri but it wore me the heck out. For whatever reason I was just not feeling it on Sunday. I had a time of 1:14:48 for a 600 yd swim, 11 mile bike and a 3 mile run. Just so I remain consistent I had another poor swim. My time was 15:15 for 600 yards :(. I think the swim might have been a little longer but I just couldn't get it going in the water. I also lost my timing chip about 5 seconds into the swim. I'm glad they float. Norma had it waiting for me at the swim exit. My bike time was good at a little over 30 minutes and I averaged around 23 mph on the bike. The run was mostly flat but by the time I got there I had nothing left. I think I've been training and working a little too much and it caught up to me on Sunday. The last couple days have me feeling Trashed and Scattered but I need to pull it together for the Sylvan Beach Tri this Sunday.

On another note, I had originally planned to do the Buffalo Springs 70.3 at the end of the month. After a lot of thought I have decided to pass on this event. I have not registered yet but there are still spots available if I change my mind. I know I could do this event today if need be but I want to make sure that I would do well. I'm not sure if that would be the case if I went there. It is a huge expense to sign up for the race, go to Lubbock and put myself in a hotel if you are not sure. I may change my mind but for now I plan to skip this race. After Sylvan Beach my plan is to do the Waco Olympic Tri in July but I will just play it by ear for now.
