Bonney Lake Chamber of Commerce Triathlon - Sprint Course - TriathlonSprint

Wow.. I need more open water training. Felt like I had to lift my head out of the water every three seconds to look to see where I was going. That threw off breathing and made me uncomfortable. Definitely need more open water time. I think I would have done better weith the Olympic distance just because there would have been more time to calm down and swim instead of feeling like disjointed sprints between glances @ the buoy.

start in the middle front instead of on one of the sides.

apparently my transition times were all dismal...

ummm practice it some?

Got smoked by two old guys in thier 50's... thats a humbler. Also took a wrong turn into a cul-de-sac..woops. Finished pretty strong I thought.

This is my weakest event, I need to train harder on bike for longer distances to get overall mph up in the 22's.

waay too long to transition here. I really need to practice.. and get some speed laces

4th age group and 33rd overall.. I guess I need to run more too, and lose some weight so i can get pace into the 6's. I felt really slow on the run, but apparently, for me - I was running 7:20's which is pretty fast. Some of that was working on catching a dude that road killed me after about mile 2.

Next time I'm going to start my end of race sprint a little earlier

stagger around... smile a lot, eat banana and then be shocked at how well I did for first Tri:)


training. Gotta train harder


Had a blast, great course, and the weather cooperated for the majority of the event. It was an eye opener to compete with a ton of people who are true athletes, and out there giving their all. Cant wait for next year.. podium here I come!
