Did a PR by 3 minute at Findlay lake.
Interesting that at Huntington the bike was very strong and the run bad. Here the bike was average but the run was great. Did 6:30 pace first mile until hit the rough parts of trail. Passed 5 people on bike and was passed by no one and then passed 5 more on run and was only passeed by one.
Actually got a 3rd place age group. ( I know it is not a big race but...I will take it. Only 20 seconds out of 2nd.
Also this was the first time I used a race as a "hard" training day. I just stayed on my schedule for a HIM in September and did this race. Felt great.
The only probelm was I camped at the race site with 7 of my kids so we could help Rick Cadwell out. We should have been done by 11pm. He had trouble with his truck and did not get there until 2:30 am. So basically instead of sleeping from 11pm to 5:30 I slept from 4:30am to 5:30am. It did not hit me until last night and today.
Wish I could have been at Mentor but Rick needed the help.
