Southwest Valley Regional YMCA Thanksgiving Day Triathlon

5th and final Tri in the books for 2013.  This is my 3rd time doing the Southwest Valley Regional YMCA Thanksgiving Day Tri.  I love this tradition that my sister and I do together.  I was up at 4am and checking in by 5am.  It was in the 50's but warmed up to the high 60's.. cold, but not too cold.  We set-up our bikes in the racks, checked in, got our body marked, and then checked out the course.  This Tri has a 50 meter pool, which I love.  It is also a reverse, so the swim is last.  Another plus for me.  The run was short - just 2 miles, bike was 12, and the swim was 400 meters.  Felt good the whole time and finished 4:32 mins ahead of last years time.  Improvements in all 3 events.

  Run Bike Swim overall
2013 26:41:00 53:20:00 12:34 1:32:35
2012 27:29:00 56:20:00 13:18 1:37:07
Improvement 0:48:00 3:00:00 0:44:00 0:04:32

I think I may do 1 more event this year - 5k in December.  Then I need to see what I will plan for next year.  More Tri's that is for sure.  Love it!   I was on a high the rest of the day.

Check in at 5am
