Lakes Country Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

While my time was ok for me, it was a rough swim. My goggles would not seal and as a result I was basically swimming blind. On the backstretch I ran into slower swimmers from wave 1 and had a hard time finding a clean lane because I couldn't see anything.

Make sure the goggles are sealed and ready to go before hand...

no issues, a pretty standard T1 for me.

I pushed the bike about as hard as I could. HR was in upper z4/z5 pretty much the entire ride. The rumble strips on 77(?) made it really tough to pass. Your only option was moving out onto the road.

There were other stretches of road that were really rough also but such is life.

Nothing.

wasted a little time here because I went down the wrong row.

Felt ok the first mile, really struggled the middle 2 miles but felt better the last mile.

For me, this is a decent run. I need to put more miles in this winter...

grabbed a couple waters and a hot dog and waited for my wife and friends to finish. Also ran into an old co-worker from like 10 years ago so that was fun.


My run stinks.


I think this race is just a really nice no frills race. Not a lot of extras but they just do a nice job. The bike course is rough but the RD doesn't have a lot of options given the location of the swim. Hopefully the county will get around to repaving some of the roads.
