The BASF Smile Train Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Since the Statesville Tri, about 5 weeks ago, I had not been in the pool once! So I was a little anxious about this. But I think my warm-up routine helped me, and I did pretty well, considering.

I guess to get better at this event, I actually need to swim more :)

Pretty good T1. I did a lot of walking, and was not too concerned with speed here.

Pretty good here, as well. The out was more difficult than the back. The speed bumps on the neighborhood street were a bit of a challenge, especially the ones we went over going down hill. I held up pretty well.

Pretty good T1. Again, a lot of walking. Not much running with the bike. Big thanks to the gentleman that threw me a bottle of water when I exited the transition area!

Very tough run. Many hills. I had to walk some of them. That being said, this was the best time I had this year. Which does say something about the sad state of my running ability :) But still, I'll take the improvement.

Since my 'sports related' injury about 4 weeks ago, I have been unable to put in the necessary time to get ready for this event. I even considered not showing up. But, I am glad I did it. I had fun, as always, and there is just a good atmosphere at all of these events I have done. Everyone is in good spirits, and we all have a common goal, to do the best we can do!


Very good event, I hope to be back next year.
