Alcon Tri For Sight - TriathlonSprint

Of course I was nervous before the swim. We were standing around the pool watching all the people who were faster than us swim and making it look easy. Before I knew it I was in the water tryingt to get my goggles ready because There was only 10 seconds between swimmers.

I started off way too fast. I think I passed 7 or 8 people in the first 150 meters. After that I hit a large bunch of people and pretty much could not pass anymore.

At the end of the swim I was done.

Pace myself. Train more. Next race will be much better.

There was a 1/4 mile run through a worm farm on the basketball court because it was raining between the swim building and the transition area. That didn't help my cause at all. I didn't take any time to collect myself in the transition area. I slapped my shoes on and helmet. Tried to get my shirt on

Roll my shirt. That would save some time. Also train more.

I need to train more for this. I thought the bike was a killer. My legs were burning the entire time and I could not breathe.

This is all from only training 3 weeks for the race.

Train

I thought my time was good. I was so tired at this point that I could not think at all.

Train more.

Well what can I say...

I wish I could say I ran the whole thing and I did it with time to spare. That didn't happen. I ran/walked the whole time until the last mile and a half. I "ran" to the finish.

My legs hurt so bad I could barely move but I did. I kept putting one foot in front of the other and got to the end.

Need more training

Train... Train... Train...

Tried not to throw up


I only trained for 3 weeks and I actually didn't do anything prior to that.



I was totally exhausted and in pain, but I loved it. I can't wait to train more and do more races.

I'm signing up for the ThanksgivingDayRace and looking for more things to do. I'm also going to start looking at races for next year.
