Tri the Parks, High Falls - TriathlonSprint

I went out strong, but obviously too fast. AFter 100 meters I completely lost steam and had trouble catching my breath. Never seemed to recover and had a hard time swimming. Actually switched between free, back and breast but nothing helped. I was surprised at my time as I thought I would be pulled out of the water by the boats and actually improved the time from my first tri by a couple of minutes. I obviously need to work on my OWS as this continues to be very difficult for me.

could obviously improve here. Time probably had a lot to do with coming out of the swim so tired.

The bike is my favorite of the three, and even starting very tired I seem to be able to push through and catch my breath. Course had some rolling hills, but nothing too difficult and I was able to make up some time here.

This is a great time for me. I felt much better coming off the bike. There were some hills, but I seemed better prepared for them. Had some good people to chase which helped my time I'm sure.

training, training, training!


Other than a terrible swim, this was a great race for me. Was able to medal in my age group since 3 of the people ahead of me placed in overall or masters!
