Subaru Banff Olympic

So I have neglected my blog for the past few weeks. In general: went to Vegas for a few days and started school again=crazy, crazy times and trying to get everything organized has been relatively difficult. I have been getting my long distance runs though and am now only 5 weeks out of the Nike Women's Marathon. Have a 28km and a 30km in the books. Need to get a 32-33km in this upcoming week. Have a half marathon trail run and then my final long run before taper time for the marathon.

Anyways: Tri season is over :'( Competed in the final race of the Subaru West Coast tri series yesterday in Banff. Olympic distance tri but the conditions were absolutely BRUTAL!! The water temp was about 10C, so they had to shorten the swim to 750m. SO it was a 750m swim, 38-39km bike and a 10km run. Once we started the bike it started to rain and the wind picked up. So cold. My T1 time was ridiculous. 6min or something! hAHA. Trying to put on pants in T1 when wet is sort of difficult. Yaaa...anyways finished and was 3rd in my age group!!! Woohoo! I got a medal! First non-finisher's medal I have received since starting tri! Time wasn't particularly impressive...but no one's time was particular impressive given the elements. Haha.
