Tri The Rock Triathlon - TriathlonMini Sprint

Pool swim is not my cup of tea. Passed two guys on the swim. Seeded #21 finsihed 8th. A little frustrating but not too bad. Googles leaked a little. didnt do flipturns on the last two walls because my googles were leaking. Goal was to go moderate as going hard would have only netted me a 15-20 seconds.

It was a long way out of transition. I had to run the horseshoe around to go out. Not excited about that with the new speedplay cleats.

But transition wasnt bad.

Had a hard time catching my breath. Never quite felt comfortable on the bike. A little disappointed in the results. Definetly need get stronger here.

Felt OK here. Need to get some Yanks. My wife commented that I sit down and no one else does this. She told me it looks like I am having picnic and taking my sweet time. However the time wasnt that slow.

Get some Yanks and not sit down.

Felt good right out of the shoot. Felt very strong. Used the 1st bit to calm down the HR. Settled into groove right away. It seemed there was a lot of guys running similar races right around me which was great and pushed me to OVERachieve on the run. One notable item.....I saw a guy that was truckin when I was coming home and he was stil going out but he still passed me (like I was standing still) at about 2.5. Turns out he was on a relay and he ran a pace of 4.53 seconds per mile for the 2.9. No wonder he passed me as I was standing still. I dont know if I can ride my bike that fast.

Nothing. Very Proud of the running result.

Felt very good. Recovered very quickly.


The Bike and the course. Definetly a tough course for me, but hopefully this will make me stronger. IE short swim and hilly bike course.


Very happy with Run. Bike is going to push motivation until the next race.
