League City Sprint Triathlon - Triathlon

I felt much more comfortable with this swim than last week's. A lot of it was being able to see/sight and the wave was less crowded.

I would have started on the inside of the course. I kept swinging wide left and swimming a few extra meters.

Not bad for a T1 with socks!

I didn't feel like my biking was particularly strong but I didn't feel like I lost ground either. I stayed consistent and maintained pace with the age group guy ahead of me through most of it, but he pulled away near the end.

I just need to keep practicing with long rides to build endurance.

My transitions helped me place ahead of others behind me that were faster. This was solid

I have a lot of room for improvement on the run, but with the heat I seemed to be average with the field. My hope was to pace 8:30/mile so that was a disappointment, but I just could not convince my legs to go faster!

As much as I hate it, I need to practice more running in the heat.

Just a walk around. It wasn't that bad.


The injured leg is coming along but it is still weaker than the other side. I will keep getting faster.


I placed 3rd in my age group for the first time! Granted the Masters winner came out of my group so I was really 4th fastest, but I'll take it. Getting on the podium has been a goal every year and I finally got to have that good feeling. I like it. This may not have been my fastest or best ever, but it was one of the most memorable and it was a well run, organized event.
