The Florida sprint went fine. I swam my first ocean race. It was also the coldest water I have been in without a wetsuit.
It really wasn't that big a deal. Cold when you get in pre race. The swells were challenging. But no big deal.
Transitions were smooth.
Bike and run took a while to get going.
I was 20.5mph on the bike and was faster in each of the 5mi splits.
Run was on the beach in the sand. 33min for a little over 4mi with each mi faster than the one previous.
All in all I liked the way it lines me up for Austin.
Right now I am I'm the middle of a high vol 12 days before I taper a bit for the Austin oly. Things are going fine although I am a little sleep deprived.
I never realized it till I took that testing week a few weeks back but getting more sleep makes a world of difference in how I work and how I treat my kids. Going forward, I am going to make sleep a priority over training every 3rd week more or less.
I swear, I can get a months worth of work done in a week when I get more sleep!
