Fort Collins Club Triathlon #3 - TriathlonSprint

The swim felt good and I only passed one woman who got passed by everyone. I kept trying to catch Adam's friend but he was screaming through the water.

Practice flipping under the rope.

I had a hell of a time getting my DAMN shirt on. It got tangled up on my shoulders. This transition was pathetic!

Race with out a shirt or get a shirt that fits better. I also need to practice riding without socks and getting into my shoes while riding. I gave up a lot here. However, for my second ever tri, I know where to improve.

Like Mark, I had a little rabbit on the coarse. He passed me right off the bat and then I dropped him on the hills. He would pass me again on the flat, then I would drop him again on the hill. I was able to stay pretty close to him throughout the ride and finished right behind him. It was a pretty fast coarse, but it did get a little boring after the second loop.

Nothing, it was just right leading into the run.

Once again, I need to train with out socks for this distance. I also need easier bike shoes to get in and out of. Overall, this transition was MUCH better that T1.

Practice, practice, practice.

I had a little left at the end that I should have used up, but it was still a fast run for me.

I need to run more. I'm getting faster but I'm also impatient. I plan to do at least one run race a month if possible in the off season to get faster. I'll be back next season to take home some hardware.

Ate a couple of bananas and drank some water while waiting for others to finish. Hung out with the BT crew and eventually watched Adam get his hardware. I have to say, I couldn't ask for a better group of people to race with you guys ROCK.


Running and Transitions


It was a good race but I don't think it's going to make my race calander next season. Then again, who knows, I may pull a Stacie and register the night before.
