Cajunman Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Good swim for my second open water. Never had problems after the first turn.

I think I could've gone a little harder, but still learning how to pace myself.

Long run from lake, i think I was more tired after the run that the swim.

Great ride for me, i was conservative on the first half and in the turns due to the conditions. Picked up the pace on the way back in.

push a little more

Good transition for me, felt really good after the bike.

Good run, I had been running with no socks, but not with wet shoes. At about 2 miles feet started to bother me. After the race both arches were bleeding and hurt like heck.

Run with socks and make sure that I have dry clothes and shoes/socks for after the race.

Ate some oranges and drank some water/powerade. Walked around with the wife and visited with friends.


Learning to pace myself. This was my forth race in five weeks. I was diagnosed in April with strained ligaments in my knee and a bulging disc in my back. After basically no training April 26 to late July I am really just starting to feel good about my fitness. This was the first race I really tried to push myself.


I started training about 18 months ago with the plan to compete this year. I was really nervous about doing Cajunman but I am glad I did. I had a great time. Hopefully I can stay healthy and keep improving.
