2nd Place AG

I did the inaugural Granger Lake Sprint Triathlon today.  Although I'm not in prime triathlon shape, and it was FAR from my finest performance, I notched 2nd place in my AG and 12th OA.  The conditions were absolutely brutal.  With the wind coming across the lake, almost the entire swim was in whitecap conditions, which resulted in almost 5 minutes over my projected swim time.  On the bike, it felt like we were riding into a headwind almost the entire route.  The only portion we had a true tailwind was on some gnarly chip seal.  The run was no better.  It was getting hot, so when the wind was at my back, I was overheating, and when it was blowing in my face to cool me...well, the wind was blowing in my face.

All things considered, everyone raced in the same conditions, so I can't complain too much.  Especially going into the race not completely prepared.
