Caesar Creek International Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

Nothing too exceptional. I felt really smooth. I did get socked in the face about 300m in but I guess I am getting used to that thing as I didnt even miss a breath or a stroke. I actually got in some drafting this race but I need to pick better targets. I always seemed to latch onto people going slower that I wanted to. No fast fishes to follow. Oh well I will live. There is a nice uphill jog to the transition area.

Nothing really- I have only been swimming once a week and I think top 25% in AG is a good result.

my suit got stuck on both ankles - perhaps I should trim up the lower legs a tad. I almost lost my timing chip whilst desuiting (that would have sucked). I had also placed my gear under platic bags bc it had looked like rain possibly and I didnt want to be pulling on wet clothes.

dont hide my gear under plastic, get suit off better

I shouldnt be disappointed since the course wasnt flat and had some hilly sections and I almost set a PR for the distance but I have really been putting in extra hours on the bike and I still finish in the bottom 25%. I did drop my chain so that did add a small amount of time. I felt good the whole time but I still feel that I cant maintain a higher speed without burning my legs. I have to comment on the most fabulous racing behind I have ever seen. I would normally refrain from overt comments but the gal wearing the blue swimsuit that dusted me at about mile 8....you were amazing from that view. I really wish I could push 21-22 mph to watch that for more than 30 seconds. OK that is enough piggishness.

just keep putting in the miles. My A race is in a month and I plan on increasing training even beyond my last few weeks so I can nail a PR.

my T2 time was 6/23 (just 10 sec behind the fastest)

Keep doing what I am doing

I totally nuked this run. I felt great the whole time. I was breathing deep and steady and passing people. I like the double out and back- it gives you more to look at and keeps your mind on the race. Did I mention that I got to see blue suit biker gal 3 more times on the run? This was a PR by nearly 4 minutes. I had a great sprint at the end although my hamstring felt like it was going to cramp big time as I crossed the line.

I didnt drink anything on the run (Ok I tried once and nearly choked trying to drink and run). I need to learn to do tha. I dotn want to stop and walk to drink but I was lucky this time since it was cool and overcast. Sunny hot mught really get me,

stretch the hamstring- eat pretzels and oranges


I cant honestly say anything as I set a PR


Suggestions to HFP Racing-
You have posted registrants in the past on the website- please do so in the future
Have some recycling bins available. I am not an Earth freak but the amount of plastic and aluminum cans we dump every race makes me sad.

Thanks blue suit girl- not only are you built like an Amazon you kicked my ass by probably 8 minutes.
