Maumee Bay Triathlon/Duathlon
6/20/2010
My first race in the 40-44 age group. I didn't like starting 2 minutes behind some of my friends and teammates (due to wave starts). I had a good swim, and a solid bike at 21.75 mph average. The training bricks have paid off as I had a pretty easy first mile. It was hot though and I purposefully didn't taper for this event so I couldn't muster the pace I wanted. There was an out and back section on the run that I saw fellow teammate, Mike Briehl, and I thought I might be able to catch him. I cranked up the pace for mile #4 but I couldn't hold it. (Briehl saw me too and put on a boost of his own that he carried through to the finish!)Mike Cousino
