RUN portion of Shoreline Triathlon!! First Tri of the season!! They cancelled the swim due to lake conditions. 4' waves and high winds. So, the Tri was switched to a Run-Bike-Run. 2 miles / 16 miles / 2 miles. I was pretty pumped up at the start, and tried to keep a pretty fast pace. I didn't really realize how fast I was running, I just tried to keep up with a bunch of people who I thought were just a little faster than me. The course was shortened significantly from the usual. I ended up running the 2 mile route in 13:53, or 6:56 per mile pace. That is FANTASTIC!! I am so surprised with that. It is by far my fastest run leg of a tri, but also the shortest.

The first transition was a bit of a mess. My bike was knocked over and tangled with the bike next to mine. My water bottle was off also. This pissed me off and caused me to waste about 30 seconds fixing it. Otherwise the transition was pretty smooth.
