  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: I had my first race back on Sunday (6/1). Kerr Lake aquabike: 1500 m swim and 40 km (24.8 mile) bike. The week before the race, I tapered back on my training. I didn’t think this would be a big deal since my overall training volume has been fairly light, but I had extra energy all week. I don’t like tapering. Tuesday before the race, Daren (my triathlon coach) and I practiced entering and exiting the water, donning a leg, and hopping on the bike. It’s a good thing we practiced this a bit because it turns out I needed more practice at speed-leg-putting-onning. Don’t worry, I practiced this more in my apartment in the following days. Climbing quickly out of the shower and hopping over to my leg to see how fast I could put it on then getting on the trainer to see if it was comfortable only reminded me that triathlon is a ridiculous sport. By the time Saturday rolled around, I felt relaxed and ready to go. Packed up my stuff, checked and double

  • Comments: This was an above average, fun race. A good course. Would be nice to extend that first swim buoy out a little so that the traffic jam would be minimized. Definitely doing this race again next year.
