Lake George Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

My siting was excellent, I just kept watching to see where the hell I was going in the fight for my life. All swimming form went right out the window, I just wanted to make sure I had air. I think that was everyone's mentality. I saw breast strokes, doggie paddle, back stroke, you name it. The name of the game here was to get done.

Don't think I'll be doing this race next year. WTF

I took my time in T1 as evidenced by my time. I was shivering so bad i wanted to take a second to dry off and zip up a long sleeve bike shirt. I'm glad I did, because even though the sun was out it was still pretty chilly and very breezy.

Nothing, I ran when I could. Just took extra seconds to arm myself against the cold.

It was a little on the windy side. The course was well manned with volunteers at the intersections which was nice.

I wish I knew how to do all the tricks mentioned above. I'd be the one to fall flat on my face in front of everyone so I'll continue to take a few extras seconds and clip out before I dismount. I have no issue running with my bike, however.

I kept a constant pace and I was happy with that. I didn't slow down at the end like I usually do. Maybe the last downhill that leads to the final flat helped with that.

I got me stuff and headed out. The kids and hubby were back at the campsite with no vehicle and it was nearing lunch time. Time to go.


I was not feeling it for this race. I think me season is done because I am tired right down to the core of my being. Additionally the chilly weather and the wind (contributing to the choppy water) definitely also had an impact. Lastly, I wasn't there with any of the girls. I love doing races with them, and this time I was all alone.


I would not give this race a 5 because the swim just down right sucked.The fact that there were only 2 buoys at the end point, none to sight on to treck your pace really bothered me. Combined with what I percieved as limited kyaker support, I felt a little nervous. I think they'd do better to have this race a little earlier in the year when the morning isn't so damn cold, also.
