Well not too much to say here, great field of pro men to race and I was all aqua-bike this day. With the stress fracture in my right leg I was obviously not running yet, the Boulder 70.3 is in my backyard so I decided to just do the swim and bike. I thought I might as well train through it. Swim I was 7th out of the water, through T1 the bike started out at a blistering pace. I thought I was going to be able to hang no problem knowing that I was not going to run anyway. But the pace proved too much and I could not hold on to the lead group up front. It is a little harder to set a fast bike pace when training all week and not resting for the race. Either way I biked a 2:11 which is very good for me, I still feel like my bike is much better this year. Now I need to get healthy and back to running again. It was pretty depressing having everyone cheering in T2, only to walk through, get dressed, and head out again with my bike. I rode over to a aid station on the run where I had parked before the race for an easy exit. I handed out water to racers, watched many of the pros go through, then headed home. A good training day.
