I arrived at dusky Pensacola Beach early enough to get
a prime spot for my bike. The flock of beautifully
appointed racing bikes, with aero bars, disc wheels and
carbon-fiber frames, were intimidating.
I came in 14th in my division, in just under 1:54. I
realized, after talking to friends I met at the
triathlon, that my 1:45 goal was VERY ambitions.
I did well on the swim, and okay on the run. My bike
portion needs work - I had a fairly slow average speed.
Maybe I need a better bike, like an actual road bike?
The ChampionChip is very cool - splits for everything.
I had a great time - I am definitely doing another one.
In two weeks Flora-Bama is having a duathlon just
across the state line in Alabama. It looks fun.
