I did the Draper race today. It was mostly for training since I really can't compete yet at the sport level. They significantly changed the course because of all the recent rain. We ended up doing 3 laps. It took me 1:59 to do the 20.45 miles. There was a total of 2377 elevation climb across all 3 laps. I think I may have come in last in sport 35-39.
The course was still fun despite the changes. I really didn't feel like I was in peak condition to race today. I am still sick and have not been getting enough sleep lately. I hope to do better this week and have a stronger performance at the Sundance race on Saturday.
It is a little frustrating to have been training so much over the winter and still do poorly in the races, but I will just use it to train harder and keep improving.
Update: I didn't come in last. I was 13 of 18.

Training Journal
I am training for both Xterra triathlons and mountain bike races. I am not very fast yet(thus the need for training). If you have suggestions for how I could improve my workouts, leave a comment.
