So why bother with timing chips...

... if you are going to use the gun time anyway? The results of the race yesterday have both times, but the ranking is by gun time. Since we are dithering between 9th and 11th place place in my age group it's a moot point anyway, but still. My gun time was 45 seconds slower than my chip time. Darn it! It's like they are rewarding the people that were responsible enough to be at the start on time.

Anyway, a good and tough week. I'd like to go hard for the beginning of next week too, then chill a little when we go to Breckenridge next weekend. Although I'm sure I'll still bring running shoes and get in at least one run, whether it's on the indoor track at the rec center or on the bike path.

This week's totals:

Swim: 5600 yards
Run: 20.37 miles

Total: 8:30
