Big Lick Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

Little nervous as soon as i took off my swim cap popped off like a rubber band stopped and found it trying to get it on while 70 people swam over top of me. got cap on and off i went pretty good until I rounded the last bouy and the course sort of went to the right at an angle back to shore and really got disoriented when I spotted right after turn I would see people swimming to shore and those coming toward the 2nd turn and at one point actually swam towards those coming at me??? finally got going the right direction but did not spot well at all last straight away to the finish.

Work on spotting, swim faster.

went well

maybe practice putting shoes on bike or at least a running bike mount.

felt good on bike rain slowed me on corners and like always weight hurt on hills.

As always not be fat

Little slow

just be a little faster

I felt good on run but with about 2 miles left they sent us on a little 2 tenths stretch that was a very steep hill after running up and down hills the first 4 miles and it just blew me up. I had planned on going out slow and finishing the last 2 miles at a 5k pace but no chance. I have got to improve my run over the winter I get really discouraged as everyone on the course passes me.

not be fat

drank water hung out with wife and buddy who did race


fat


Good race /bad weather might do this one again fairly pleased for first Olympic race.
