Seagate Pittsburgh Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

Longest OW swim ever. I felt good about it though. I finally got over my fears and just swam like I was in the pool. I got slightly off course a few times because of the current but overall I felt good. It might not have been the fastest swim, but it felt good and thats what matters.

More speed work and practice longer distances at faster speeds.

A little slow here, but nothing terrible. Legs felt wobbly and it was hard to make myself move faster.

Nothing. I'm still learning how best to set up my transitions to make them faster.

I liked the bike part. The road was a little rough with potholes and stuff, but beyond that it was good. It was hard not to draft, but I think I was okay at not drafting.

Just practice racing up hills more.

Good transition. Had a bug fly in my shirt and sting me a bunch right before the end so I was freaking out & not spinning right. but otherwise, it was good.

Spin more and calm down. I was too hyper and not thinking clearly.

This was a hard run. I wish they'd had gatorade on the run instead of just water. I started out well, but was just exhausted by the end.

Find out if there's gatorade on the course and if not bring my own. Also train longer distances so the 10K of the race doesnt seem so hard. I didnt do enough really long runs before this race and I just wasn't ready for this.

Walked around, had a banana, and a beer :)


Training. I wasnt ready for an oly distance but wanted to try it anyways. Now I know what to expect for next time and can train better for it.


This is a good race. I will definitely do it again, and next time I'll kick its butt instead of it kicking mine :)
