Columbia Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

while my time was three min faster than last year, i did not feel great at the start. it was a rough start for me. i couldn't not break through to save my life. lots of traffic. i was feeling pretty fatigued at the finish and HORRIBLE at transition. biking was the last thing i wanted to do.

i'm not sure. maybe work on a more aggressive start? not sure i am ready for that yet.

annoyingly, their new timing comp combined the bike and t1. no real data for t1 time. i felt like i had really good transitions today. no problems. it probably makes my bike look better by having t1 and the bike combined, sadly.

maybe try pam around the ankles. that was my only problem. i went sockless for the first time ever. i like it.

i did not feel fast, but i did like my new shifters. just got them on the aerobars. it helped A LOT keeping up speed on the downhills. i hit 37mph on a downhill and about crapped my pants. felt really proud though.
slight scare when my right aero bar came loose. way loose. i couldn't hold it at all. had to just lean on my frame and hope i didn't go flying. fortunately this was only for the last 5ish miles. it made shifting difficult.

i desperately need to train more on the bike. no secrets. that is it.

i felt really good on transitions today. i did have a sweet spot though. went sockless on the run. felt good.

nothing

felt good. didn't push it early. my first lap was in the 8:20s. must have gotten faster after. great pace on a hilly course. i passed a ton of guys. that's always nice.

more miles. again, no secret. my running logs have sucked the last 1.5 months except my 1 weekly 10 miler. need to run more frequently.

nothing and cramped HORRIBLY


more training on the bike and running.


once again, they didn't let me down with the tortellin salad!
