Tri the Parks - John Tanner State Park - TriathlonSprint

First let me say that I met my overall goal for the race so I am refusing to the disappointed but this swim was not great. This lake just freaks me out I guess. I actually felt pretty good at the time but the sighting...well..

I need to practice breathing with every stroke - I think that is what pulls me to the right and breaks my normal swim rhythm.

I was really dizzy coming out of the water but it was all right, no major issues.

nothing - just be faster

I like this course, it is fast and fun. Lost my water bottle - luckily it rolled off into the ditch.

I really just need to hammer harder and not worry about the run.

Just fine. Had some trouble navigating through a VERY crowded transition area and had some trouble getting the bike racked. Overall ok.

I thought I did great on the run today. I guess now that I am racing with the big girls in my AG I am still getting my A.. handed to me. Slowest run in my AG - that does sting a bit. I have come a long way on my run but this is still my challenge - watch for me at the top of the charts in my AG next year!!!

I did what I could. My calves were cramping the first mile but I worked through it. More miles in training and I am sure I will improve. My time last year was over 34 minutes so a 5 min improvement - I think I will take it!

stretched a little and hung out with my "team"


Nothing - I met my goal to take 10 minutes off last year (which was my first race) and I did that. It was great.


This is a great race but I thought it was simply too crowded. Transition was a traffic jam. Didn't see a lot of volunteers either. The atmosphere among the participants is always great though, I will definitely be back next year.
