Holy headwinds! That's all I have to say, as that one statement truly sums up the entire race. I'm not exaggerating; the winds at Lake Mead were ridiculous yesterday. I might have actually had a good race, if I hadn't been biking into a wind-tunnel the entire time. The crazy thing is, said winds were coming from every direction, so there was no relief. I struggled on my way out and struggled just as much on my way back in. It was ridiculous and exhausting. Crazy Vegas weather!All moaning and crying aside, I have to admit, I really did have a decent race. I'm a little irked at the moment, because I'm convinced I could have done better, but isn't that always the case? The fact of the matter is, I cranked out my best swim yet, managed a solid ride despite the wind, and held a strong pace on my run. I came in at 3:06, a little slower than I had hoped, but still a time I can be proud of. It put me in 7th place (out of 17) in my division, and 19th overall for females (out of 72). It wasn't my best performance ever, but not bad for my first event of the season. Now I know what I'm doing right in my training, and what I have to improve upon. So, I guess I need to stop my whining and get to it...
