First Race Distance Brick of the year

Completed the first brick of the year with Olympic distances: 40k bike and 10k run. Came in at 2:11, without the swim. Kind of slow, but that's pretty much where I was at for the last tri race of the year last year in September. I also give myself a few extra points because I was on very tired legs and the bike was incredibly windy today, and it was coming from all directions. The wind in the Portneuf Gap really is crazy.

At some point, I screwed up the splits on my watch, so the times are questionable. That really sucks because I wanted to use this as my baseline for the year's training. The time on my bike computer and the splits on my watch didn't match, which is really strange. My watch said I finished in 2:02, but I'm pretty sure it's more like a 2:11. The mess up came somewhere between my last bike split and start of the run.

Bike 40k: 1:14
run 10k: 57:10 (about .2 miles longer than actual 10k and has hills)

The bike was good except for the wind. One of the side winds almost blew me over. Crazy.

The run was much slower than I figured it would be, and the split time problem really puts this time in question. I was running slower than normal, but it didn't feel that slow. This time would give me a minute per mile slower than normal. But it was a nice run, except on one of the hills I really felt like walking (I kept up the pace though).

I got this one out of the way, and the first one is always the hardest.
