Issaquah Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

This could not have gone any better. There was 1 row of people in front of me on the best line at the start and everyone else went wide. 1st bouy was 100 yards out so I drafted them all the way to the bouy. I don't think I was ever off the line and passed the course bouys within 1 foot. Got out of the water and was barely warmed up.

Had some problems getting into my bike shoes. Saw one guy with a shoe horn and another guy brought his stuff in a plastic tote he could sit on. Food for thought.

I'm a terrible cyclist. There isn't anything I'm doing well.

I need to start riding with a cycling group once a week to develop my skills on the bike.

Went pretty good. In and out of the shoes just fine. Took in some water.

Not much

Flat course thorugh the park. Not a lot of pavement, easy on the joints. Stretched my hammies out on the bike so I was able to get running right away with no walking.

Water. A brat.


I had a hockey tourney this weekend. Played two games on Friday night and split my elbow open. I didn't get to bed until 1:15a and was up 3 hours later. I hoped to get some pancakes at the IHOP down the street for breakfast, but that didn't happen.

I also knew I had two more hockey games after the race so I held back a bit on the run.


Great race. Lots of really nice people. I was the first race of the year for a lot of folks.
