Did the first Annual Maple Grove (MN) Triathlon today. I did the Sprint distance. .3 mile swim, 14 mile bike, 3 mile run. Did the run in my lime green Sprint VFF's.
Overall time, 1h:27m:39s. Run portion was 22m:45s or 7:35 minutes/mile pace. Passed a ton of people on the run since I ranked 97/301 in the swim, 134/301 on the bike, but 39/301 on the run. A lot called out and asked me how I like the VFF's. I said I loved them! And I do.
I last ran a race two years (and 29 lbs) ago. A 10k where I finished in 49m:50s. And that was the start of real hip pain which would start up again whenever I tried to run again (in running shoes).
Today - no hip pain at all!
