Honolulu Triathlon - Olympic - TriathlonOlympic

Decent swim, can't complain considering the prep for the race was minimal. I felt comfortable the whole time.

Train more.

Decent T-1. Not my best performance, but not bad for the longest swim in a race ever for me.

Nothing.

Had some gusty wind on the return and we got rained on pretty good so the roads were wet. I'm a little disappointed in my bike leg since this is usually one of my better legs.

Train a little more.

Took extra time getting socks on. Same old story with my T-2 when I don't run without socks.

Condition my feet to run lnger in my Zots without socks.

I was tired. My left leg was partially asleep from por positioning on my saddle on the bike leg. It took about 1/2 mile to get it woken up and feeling normal. The run ended up being my best leg today.

Adjust my bike saddle positoning a little.

Walked and stretched.


Training.


I am generally pleased with how I performed given the amount of effort I've put into training this year. Work has been crazy and I just haven't given as much as I should have. The swim gave me some confidence that I will survive in Kona in 3 weeks. I won't blaze any trails or set any speed records, but I think I'll complete the course. I like this race and if anything, I'm disappointed more in myself in the poor preperation. I kick myself when I realize what I could have accomlished if I had even given half an ounce of real effort to train.
