Pink Power Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

easy peasy, lap swim. passed two girls, never got passed. by the time i was in the pool it had started to get a little rough but no biggie.

seeded myself even faster :)

fastest T1 in my AG! woo! and here i thought i was a total slowpoke in transition.

apparently nothing. i need to get better at bike on/off

i had practiced the course 2 weekends before and knew what to expect. i got passed by 8 or 9 riders, but waited for that flat at the end to attack a handful of my AG.

get better at bike on/off. really why am i such a dump. push a LOT harder. if i had the energy to pass 3 girls on the last mile, why was i holding back the other 10???

this is where i was SUPER slow, just taking my time changing shoes drinking water, DREADING the run

not be so effing slow in transition, remember to drink on the bike so i don't HAVE to drink in transition

i hate running. i suck at running. imagine my surprise when i hit mile 1 and my watch read 9:24. uh oh. i went out a LEEEEETLE too hard. from there the miles dropped to 10:30 and 11:30, but I never stopped to walk. coming in the last half mile or so chatted with a girl about how we only had five minutes left, couldn't wait to get under the sprinklers by the pool.

pushed as hard as i could through the grass/chute run, to vomit threshold. my last sprint 5K was 34 minutes, my goal for this one was 33, and I DID IT!

pace better. start with an 11 min mile and get down to 9 on the last 1.1. i need a garmin type device. my lack of ability to pace is destroying my running - both in training and races.

found shade. got a massage. drank lots of powerade. went out to breakfast with jen (artemis) and her husband and my boyfriend. YUM COUNTRY OMELETTE.


lack of run training.


I had a blast and will do this one next year, if not just to PR the course. Also, not nearly as physically exhausting as the Tavern. I got right back into training no prob the next day.
