Cranberry Trifest - TriathlonOlympic

Had a rough start trying to find my groove. By the first buoy had a solid pace but lost pack to draft behind. tried to kick very little to save my legs for the run - perhaps that is why I was off my pace. Bilateral the whole time - would have thought I would have been a few minutes faster.

Nothing - just increase the pace in the first half - good neg split but falling behind main group hurt with lack of drafting.

Getting good at the T1

Nothing

Clearly the bike is my strong suit. I felt I crushed the course and left everything I had on the course. I would not change a thing. For my first year competing I am pleased to be in in top 20%. Fitness is clearly what I need to focus on over the Fall and Winter to prepare for next season.

Nothing

Everything went well but got hung up with Yankz - other than this it was perfect. Prob lost 30 sec screwing around with Yankz

Practice getting in shoes with Yankz - had then set too tight

Clearly the extra lbs are holding me back and feeling it most on the run. Dealt with cramping the first two miles then got into an okay pace from mile 4 till the end (9ish).

Continue to work with my coach to improve my running fitness. Focused on nutrition and have given up alcohol to try and drop the extra lbs. Need to shave off 30lbs and can't workou any more than I already am, so it comes down to diet.

drank lots of water, ate some fruit, stretched briefly and packed up to get home - looked for Cat and Rob but could not find them.


The Run


So I set out with a goal of sub 3hrs for my first Oly and an optomistic goal of sub 2:30. Check on the first and missed the second. Slightly discouraged with the run perfromance and concerned going into Austin in 2 months, which is 2x this length.
