Firecracker tri-athalon

Or HOW to furiously BONK and race poorly.

Well today was the Firecracker tri.

Our swim was seated slowest to fastest.
I started about 730am or so.
Anyway just before my turn the fella in front of me turns to me and says I start out really slow.
Ok great, we start 15-20 seconds apart so I shouldnt be able to catch him.
1st lap this guy is fuckn crawln and I catch him.
Well I have to power past him to get him out my way.
I swam ok.
I started to feel like crap after that and was caught by the guy I passed but just as we were getting out of the pool so technically I was still ahead of him because I started behind him.
Regardless I swam shitty and slow.
I ran all the way to t1 and it was a long ass way around the building around transition and in through the other side.


I Felt like the bike went well until I hit Euclid.
Everytime I hit Euclid my speed dropped way down.
The run(the real beginning of the end of the nightmare)
The run started out well, I hit the mall, everything was fine.
I turned the first mile in about 8min35sec. No biggie, well I started feeling horrible so I cut in a 1 minute walk break, usually doesn't slow me down.
Mile 2 was a little over 10minutes!!!! What the hell.
It just got progressively worse. The last mile was like another 10minute + mile.

So the break down is as follows

Swim 750 meters-14'21"
Not sure where the trans time gets factored in,I think they put it toward my bike time.

Bike 12 miles-41'40"my computer recorded the ride as follows-
38'09"-time
distance-11.52
18.1mph avg.
26.4 max
Run(the beginning of the end).
3.1miles in 29'04"

total time 1hr24min43sec
All of this is just encouragement to get my back fixed...It was fun,I'm a little irritated with the run and swim.
