Morning Run

Morning Swim

I made the pass into 2nd on the way to the mount line and was totally alone by the first turn. Between bumpy pavement and a very gradual grade for most of the first half, the course was sneaky hard. I did a pretty good job of sticking to my power plan not having to constantly make passes, but I was puking up lake water for about 20' which made sticking to the nutrition plan difficult. The guy who finished 2nd overall passed me incredibly cleanly on one of the long straight stretches in the first half. I had no idea he was there until I heard a "good work keep it up" from next to me. He stayed in sight for a while and vanished after the next turn. I almost cracked on the hill around the half way point but held it together knowing it was downhill for a long while after that. The crest and downhill turned out to be a great mental and physical reset. I settled back in pretty quickly and felt like a rocket for the 2nd half of the course.
