Chattanooga Waterfront Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

My raw time 2 minutes better than the last oly, but compared to placement in my age group, it was terrible. My execution was good because I swam about the same pace as in the pool. I usually finish comparitively better.

long run to T1

Very strong ride! My improvement on the bike is coming along nicely.

decent

Slower run than expected and I felt like crap after 3 miles. My placement was pretty good, but my time was slower than last race and the course was not more difficult. I just had a bad run. I'm not sure why. I had a hard week of training and still had a bit of soreness that morning. My hrm died after mile 3 so I don't have hrm data. I was able to hang with a club member as we traded back and forth, then, at the end, I surged really hard past him. I wound up finishing about 12 seconds ahead of him. I dry heaved after crossing the finish line. It was the hardest surge I've ever done.

Overall, the strength of my bike split allowed me to have a pretty good day. I was very happy with the bike, but I underperformed on the swim and run. I still had a lot of fun and will definitely do this race next year!


Team Magic did a fantastic job!
