Lake Chaparral Triathlon - Olympic - TriathlonOlympic

I got kicked in the face HARD by a woman relayer that was on her back doing some weird breast stroke/frog kick. Lucky it hit the goggles first so there was no damage.

Went with the middle pack so was able to find and keep feet for much of the race. And by luck the guys I was chasing had good sighting but I still checked.


I might bite the bullet and go for some serious swim lessons next year. I can do 2/100 all day with a low heartrate but it would be nice to get in the top 20%

Went down the wrong bike aisle argh. Not a big deal, took a bit of time to put on sunblock spray but overall it was good.

Pretty much habit at this point, so I think it's good.

Good bike - was windier than last time, but the road conditions were better and less turning in and out of side streets. No chicanes this race, but a few people got stuck behind trucks on the downhill.


1km/hr improvement over last year with more wind so we'll try for another km/hr increase next time.

Bike racks can't hold my bike from front cause of aerobottle and the rear is a tough fit cause of rear cage holder. Consider removing rear cages for any future short races (though it's nice to use to bring bottles to the site)


Just more running practice.

Good run - would like to have held my HM pace but it was just a bit too much.

IM 5 weeks ago so not much training since then.



Same as the last 3 years - lots of door prizes (one guy got 2K worth of loot).
