Titanium Man Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

started off fine, jumped on quick feet. but was knocked off and lost the pack...i swam by myself for the rest of the swim. i kept second guessing myself as to how fast/slow i was swimming, turns out i was right on the $$

it would have been nice to have some feet to draft the entire swim, but this worked out

ugh, really stunk it up on this one. wasn't terrible i guess, but seconds count

meh...at one point i was hoping for 105/106 range, but this was fine. got passed about 1/4 of the way by a AGer, but kept him in sight

really worked the downhills, and felt strong coming into T2

maybe climb harder, but i was happy

haha, hell yea, fastest in the race

helmet off, shoes on, GO

started the run in 6th or 7th...immediately passed a guy (in T2) then worked on reeling in the next two, one of which was the AGer who passed me on the bike. i have been feeling strong on the run recently, so i wanted to try and get a quick run (~40 or sub 40 would have been awesome)

as i came up on the 23 year old i could see he was struggling, and i just kicked it and flew past him, i ran about 6 20s on the way out and then was in no mans land...3rd place was too far in front and i had dropped everyone behind, so i just held on. i think that if i had another person near me i could have ran a faster return, but this was ok i guess

get third, not fourth!

tri season is over...but it has been a lot of fun, cant wait for next years races (stand outs are kona 70.3 and IM Canada!)

oh yea, this was my first triathlon last year...finished 44th in a 2:25 this year 4th with a 2:08.
