Went to Myrtle Beach today and did my first after all this time and missing 2 other races I finally bagged one but...

well it was interesting 10 people had to be rescued and brought in out of the ocean we had 4-5 ft waves on our 750m swim, a head wind for 8 out of 13 miles on the bike, and a fun little run.

took 11th in my class, and 126 in males, 149 overall out of 280 racers

so why do I feel like I sucked, I swallowed so much salt water I actually drank my whole water bottle on my bike trying to rehydrate from taking in so much salt water, got to the 1 1/2 on the run and the had a water station if they hadn't i would not have made it. I had cotton mouth that whole 1 1/2 miles of the run.

23 minute 750m swim
41 minute 13 mile bike
28 minute 5k- which really pissed me off since I've ran sub 24 minute runs since July!

My transitons sucked I had 2-2 minute trans.

the swim was horrible i could barley walk after getting out that surf!
