Lake Mills Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

thought this swim went lots better than last year, but was slower. as i was ont he back stretch someone grabbed my ankle (last year this wouldve caused me to stop!), i wriggled free, continued on only to have someone (same person?) grab my ankle again.........grrrrrrrr......wriggle free, continue on, felt yet another hand clasp around my ankle again but this time i rolled onto my left side and kicked with my right leg, CONTACT!!! plus, no more ankle grabbing!!

not too much, havent had a pool to swim in this year so far so swims have been minimal. plus i was only about 20 seconds slower than last year and last year i didnt have the ankle grabber behind me.

T1......ugh.........so i get into the area, find my bike without a hitch only to find shark bait hanging onto the bar by his left break lever....all the time i spent organizing my area is caput as someone totally destroyed all of my hard work!! (ok, maybe 3 mins worth.....but still........) so, i feel this was a good T1 since i had to locate all of my crap again. while getting everything set again i decided not to worry about the arm warmers and just gettagoing...........so that saved time. faster than last year by almost 20 seconds!

set up a hidden camera and catch who ever messed up my stuff.......probably nashers i suspect........

not a bad ride, switched up some stuff on shark bait on saturday night. raised the handle bars a bit and also moved the seat up and tilted up a bit. that seemed to help out a lot, especially with the quad issue. felt comfortable on the ride. only two people passed me and ironically they both had those sweet orange treck tri bikes!!! me likey!!!

not too much, think i might go some type of disc wheel for the next race........

thought this felt faster but i'll take it. still faster than last year

not a heckuvalot to be honest

felt really smooth on this run, felt like i was pushing it, think i couldve pushed more. was worried about the quad but that felt good, was a little achey afterwords (that little downhill at the end hurt....)but quad held up fine. nobody passed me on this run.

push harder. i am really feeling confident in the run off of the bike now.

shivered and shook and cheered on the donkai! (also ate me a slice of rocky rococco's pizza!! thanks fishlips!! you rawk!)


was worred about the quad......think i couldve gone faster, but not sure how much.......


not a bad race for me considering the quad issue and that i signed up on thursday evening. also because of those things, i went in without any preconcieved notions on how i would do, just to go out and test the quad kinda thing.

was superduper coolio to see so many donkai in attendance (scooby, jmwebs, donkeywolf, lunatick, fishlips, judyjetson,craimyjo,wavedog, schmizey (two hearts pal, two hearts!), talltridad, bunnyT, casserole, jenndoc, vanillwafer, waferspouse, deanna, tacobellgrande, donnawiz, lord helmet...man, im sure im forgetting someone, im sorry if i am, there be just so many of us now!!!!)

the DTFU'd award goes to...........man, so many to chose from on a day like that. anyone who participated gets a nod due to the conditions......but lets see, theres casserole competing with a hole in his tummy, nashers hyperventitation techniques in the water but gittin' it done........man...prime candidates there....i think i am going with ...... all the ones that came out and strapped. firstnet, judyjetson and fishlips...tuff to be out there cheering on and being all positive in those conditions!!!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
