Season Opener - Mount Royal College Sprint

Today was the first triathlon race of the season here, the MRC Sprint Tri. Distance was 525m/17.5km/5km. Conditions threatened to be rainy and cold, but by the time the race started it was sunny and mild, with the rain clouds staying in the distance.



I placed 3rd overall. 57:36 - legs times approx: 8:00/29:00/19:00. Not bad considering I am bordering on burn-out. I have had very poor recovery this week.... kinda dug myself in a hole since the 10k. My legs were sore to the touch and almost cramping at the race start! Time for a couple of days rest, a good long massage, and I should be ready to go next week at the half-marathon.

Complete results available here.

Thanks you Jen for the pic above (and for volunteering too). :-)
