Danskin Women's Triathlon Series - Denver - TriathlonSprint

first time in open water. I found my route to be very curvy. I think having bigger goggles will help me see the bouy and head towards it. Otherwise, swim felt ok.

Interesting to try to run right out of the water up a hill. felt ok after a few steps. Could be faster getting shoes on and getting out of there.

Drink more water

Bike went well. Good recovery from swim. Slowed down up hill against the wind. Overall, this is my strongest event.

Still getting the hang of transitions. This one felt better than the first. Again, I need to drink more water in the transition.

I know what my bad event is! Right out of the transition, my right calf cramped really bad. I had to stop twice to work it out. From there I was able to run it out. Mile two, my stomach began to cramp. THis kept me very slow. I need to stop and drink more water during the run. I would try to drink while moving and couldn't get very much in as would choke on it. In the future, I will stop for the moment, get sufficient water and then continue to run.

1 mile walk


water and having been in the mountains the last four weeks before the race - non-tri specific training.


Traffic too and from the race was VERY bad. This kept a lot of athletes from warming up pre race and having to wait around in the parking lot trying to get out.
