Overall it was a good workout. I was challenged during the swim workout by another girl on the team. She is a fast swimmer! She lapped me during the 500 yd time trial. But it was good to be pushed. The bike route was definitely intense at times. I had to stop a few times on some of the hills, but I was eventually able to make it up. I never had to get off my bike and push it up the hill. I'm still getting used to changing gears and keeping my cadence even. I bought and installed a bike computer which was nice on this ride. I was able to see my cadence as well as my mph and the distance covered. I just dropped my bike off to get some toe cages put on my pedals and the knobby mountain bike tires switched out for slicks. I love using all this jargon :) Even though my legs are fairly sore, I am feeling pretty strong. It will be interesting to see how much I've improved when we do the time trials again in a few months.

GO TEAM!
