May 11 Cape Sprint

Yesterday was the Cape Coral Sprint Triathlon and Nadine and I decided to go run the thing. Not a bad setup by the county and pulled in bout 158 people to run it. Although we knew it would be smaller, we also knew that there was gonna be some fast ass people attending it and we was not wrong on that. Weather was good in the low 70's and water was mid 70's. Swim went by well, started up front and never left the crowd the entire time, hit the beach around 5min for the 400 meters. Bike was 2 laps in a T pattern, made a huge rookie mistake and missed a turn. Had my head down jamming along and just missed it but caught it soon as I did. Back on track and onto 2nd lap there was a crash in front of me. 2 guys and a girl got caught up somehow and knocked one guy out with broken brake levers on bike. Run started out good in my new shoes I won at the Fit 2 Run grand opening and they was feeling good. Picked off a few and at mile 2.75 got passed not realizing he was in my AG. Finished in a 56:59 , 10th OA and 2nd AG. Tried out the 2X Performance today, hard to tell about it would have liked a longer course but still gonna work with it. Nothing bad about it just sprints always seem to hurt me more then 70.3 or higher do. Next race is in Naples on May 25th its a reverse sprint.
