Splash Triathlon @ Sea World - TriathlonSprint

Decent swim after a HORRIBLE start. Got really topsy turvy the first hundred meters or so and swallowed a lot of water...couldn't find a good rhythm and kept running into people...just couldn't establish a good lane. Still my fastest swim pace yet...YAHOOO!!

Not hydrate myself with lake water the first 100 meters!

This was my first tri with a "remotely located transition". We came out of the swim exit, put shoes on, then ran 1/4 mile to transition...it made for a long T1 obviously...other than being pretty tired, once I got to transition it went ok. Took my time to catch my breath.

Run faster!

This was a good bike segment for me....even the hills felt good. I really wish I knew what my actual bike average speed was. I rode the old bike because I have not had any time in the saddle on my new tri bike yet...she will see her debut performance at Stonebridge in 2 weeks.

Nothing...good day for me

Lumped in with bike time, so who knows?? Felt like my transition went reasonably well...I'm never really fast in transition, but this went off without any problems.

This is my proudest moment....ran a 5k at the end of a tri in the 10s for the first time ever. It still isn't blazing speed by any means, but it was exciting to see the results considering I started this season with runs in the 12s. Also, this was the first tri that I left feeling great...none of the dizzy, dehydrated, "I just got run over by a herd of rabid buffalo" feelings. My best run yet, hands down.

Nothing at all...keep training and hopefully the improvement will continue

Drank a bit, ate a Clif Bar, and packed up to head to Fiesta Texas with the familia.


Beginner status, 30 extra pounds.


This was a fun race, and I can tell I'm improving. In fact, 671/1118 puts me in the MOP instead of the BOP!!!!!

They did a good job putting the race on, and the closed bike course, with plenty of volunteers, was very nice. Great day today!

Stonebridge Ranch is in 2 weeks. I still need to decide if I can handle the Oly or if I should just do the sprint. I am afraid an Oly at this point may be very, very tough, and humbling for sure...but the challenge is eating at me.
