West Point Lake Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

slower than i would have thought, but people are saying that the course was long. i did a little over 26:00 last year and i felt like this was the same or better. in any case, i didn't use up a lot of energy on the swim and came out of the water feeling fresh.

not much. i still need to work on sighting. i did a lot of zig zagging and ran in to a few people.

would have like for this to be closer to 1:00

practice transitions more.

okay bike. i haven't had a lot of bike time this year, so i can't expect much. i never really pushed the pace b/c i always had the run in the back of my mind. in hindsight, lack of bike training was probably my biggest limiter. it kept me from pushing on the bike, and caused me to struggle on the run.

more bike time earlier in the year.

acceptable. 1:00 transitions in an oly are cool w/ me.

okay up until mile 4. it was all i could do to keep running to the water stop at the beginning of the dam. then the hill going back in killed me. my legs were gone, and the will was gone soon after.

train more. suck it up.

got some food and beverage and tried to sit and relax a bit.


my goal at the start of the season was to do this race in about 2:40, but its been hard to keep my training consistent. the past 3 weeks were very light on training and heavy on household priorities. moving followed by going to the beach limited the time i had to workout. plus, the wifey broke her leg skimboarding the second day at the beach, so that put the skids on any workouts i had planned while i was there. so basically i came into saturday with a weeks worth of fried seafood and miller lite in my belly, and no miles in my legs. what can you do, right? i'll get'em next year.



another good ga multi sport race.
