The race was pretty much ok last Sunday.
It rained in the morning but later while I was already in the bike-leg it got better. I was lucky that the sun didn't come out so that the run was ok as well.
It was 2k on the swim, 75k on the bike and 21k on the run, which I all did in 4h and 42 minutes. I had a personal best for the run part, which I'm kind of proud of, but it is nevertheless pretty slow in comparison to the all the other women competing with me. We were 51 women racing (>400 racing men) in the middle distance, I was 3rd in swimming, in 5th position after the bike and I went 15th after running with only the 35th "best" time in the run. That says it all, or? Well, the 4 women in front + me were only less then 1 minute away from each other. So, my 15th place is not that bad, I think.
After the race I was pretty much worn out and my achilles tendon is aching like hell again. Not good. I hope that it will get a lot better within this week as I don't have any running on my schedule.
Spent my day at home yesterday as I had one hell of a worst migraine ever. I was drugged to the limit. Headaches already began last Saturday, so I was full with pain killers already on the race.
Today I'm a lot better but still have a little headache. I'll head to the gym after work for a little bit of core workout and some recreative swimming.
There was a little package in my mail yesterday. I ordered a new campstove called biolite. I can burn wood in it and I am able to charge devices with an USB-stick with it. Cool, huh?
I think the 1st use has to wait until I'm done with races this year. Maybe until September, when I plan to do some serious hiking in the Alps.
