Trek Women's Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Our local pool is closed for a month so I haven't been in water for a long time. Took a bit to get comfortable again, but settled into my slow and stead side stroke. Loved all the swim angels there watching over us.

Swim more before the race.

My transition area was quite far from the swim, a long slog on floppy legs, but no trouble finding my bike or getting the wetsuit off.

Perhaps be a bit better at swimming so I have enough juice left to run to my bike.

Enjoyed the bike quite a bit. Gorgeous when going over the bridge. I think this is my first triathlon (of the 4!) that I didn't have to stop and walk at any point. Forgot to zip up my light windbreaker which I didn't really need anyway. Next time leave it behind, or if I really need it ZIP it up.

Get better at my gearing. Still making mistakes and shifting up occasionally when I want to downshift.

No problems.

Nothing.

So much encouragement from the other women and the fabulous volunteers. I usually hate running, but thanks to the comradery and better training I really enjoyed this one.

Keep working on the run, seeing improvements each race.

Walking back to the car. Had to get to the final Yankees/Mariners game!


Not knowing how to crawl.


I enjoyed this race the most of any I've done. So many supportive volunteers and other athletes. It is cheesy, but the women-only triathlons are just "nicer!". It is interesting though, with the much wider range of abilities I did find it a bit harder to push myself then at races where almost everyone is faster than I.
