Beaches Fine Arts Series - TriathlonSprint

not fall in a hole, listen for the gun better and have not gone so easy because I was so concerned on sighting.

theres a good run to T1 and looks like I did it the fastest. glad I was aggressive on the transitions, it makes a difference.

Had the bike of my life!! I decided to spin up the bridge rather than mashing it out to practice for IMCDA and felt great and was still passing people doing that. Went aggressive on the downhills and thats how I caught the first female. Stayed in the lead comfortably then got passed by another female. I decided to keep behind her as I was doing 24 ez and just keep it there and stay comfortable and pass her at a more strategic point... until... another female past me and then the three of us got clogged up with a bunch of men. the three of us all kept passing each other back and forth and the men weren't dropping back after passes. obnoxious since we were trying to get out of that stuck position so we weren't drafting. I decided to push it in the last 1/2 mile to be first into T2 because after a bike as good as this one I wanted to be the first female into T2. First time ever doing that!!!

not too much. had a great ride, maybe I should have overtook jc right away so the other female didn't catch us.

when the eventual female winner past me in the first 1/4 mile I let her go. she is an extremely fast runner and I really let her reputation beat me. I needed to calm down my breathing at first but I could have run faster than this, I have in the past. I should have pushed it but who knows, I think I was at my limit after that ride anyhow.

not let people's reputations beat me. run harder.

2.5 hour ride post race, ironman training afterall :)


swim conditions, my head.


one of my favorite races around here! its my goal to win this one sooner or later and I know I will. sprints are tough for me so I'll have to do more running speedwork and become a faster runner
