I know I have reasons (excuses?) why this one didn't go as well as I'd like, but here I am nearly two weeks later and I can't remember what they are.

I had taken a much-needed vacation with my lobster the week prior to #3 so it had been a while since I'd been in a pool. Slow Swim Excuse--check.

(The swim did clock in at over a minute slower, but the route had been changed to avoid algae so I'm going to claim it's longer and stick with that.)

Transition without a wetsuit went without a hitch. No Excuse Needed.

Run was nearly a minute slower--No Excuse to Think Of.

It's mid-July and I'm pretty sure I've peaked for the summer.
