Guelph Lake II Triathlon - Sprint Distance - TriathlonSprint

Water was calm and warm (I got too warm in my full wetsuit). I took it really easy and it paid off. I just swam along on the outside of the crowd, keeping a steady pace.

Only wear the bottom part (bib-john) of my T1 suit.
Run up the hill to the transition zone. I lost a good 1.5 minutes there.

I am always so slow in T1.


Move faster. I'm just afraid that I'll rush so much that 5km into the bike ride I'll look down and notice I'm still wearing my wetsuit.

This was a weird course. There were too many bike on the course at once and it was hard to pass. There were little peletons of riders everywhere and it was tough not to draft every once in a while.

I rocked on the downhills and sucked on the uphills. Between my small tri-bike and big arse (200lbs) I could really hammer and drop people on the downhills but they always caught up to me when the hills arrived.

Loose some weight and train hills.

This is where my big ass really turned into a ships anchor. I just started to run out of gas. I had a bad cold the week leading up to the race and my aerobic / running skills really suffered.

Ran the kids 1km race with my little 2 year old princess. She beat me, but only by a nose.

The roads for this race should be closed or space the waves further apart. There were times where cyclists were riding 4-abreast.
