Revolution3 - Olympic - TriathlonOlympic

Didn't feel like I could get a rhythm for some reason. Navigation not bad but think I screwed up the last leg. Just didn't feel like I had any power and form went to hell for some reason.

Put it down to being the first tri of the year!

T1 was was good with the exception of the 10-15 seconds I lost by not being able to find my bike in the rack. First time this has happened to me and it makes you feel like an idiot.

Pay even more attention to where my bike is in transition

I had ridden the course four times a couple of weeks earlier so knew what to expect with the course. I think my training camp at Placid the weekend before really impacted my ride as I was 1-2 mins slower than the slowest time I expected. Hills felt hard and heart rate was high at start of ride.

This was just a C race so although it would have been nice to do a mini taper to improve bike strength it wasn't an option. My team mates all experienced similar feelings about their performances so it is good to know I'm not alone

Felt like a very clean transition

Nothing

It was a humid morning and this was made worse by the sun starting to break through. Although slow (albeit it wasn't a fast run course) I was fairly happy with the run given conditions and my state of fatigue. I got passed by 9 guys and 2 girls on the run, although did manage to pass a guy in the chute - he was suffering though.

Had this been a half I would have needed to focus more on getting more fluid at the aid stations as was pretty dehydrated at the end.

Not much.

Massage and hung out with the big gang of TriLifers


General fatigue from the training camp the previous weekend


This was my first Rev3 race and I was extremely impressed with the organisation. Would do another race with this crowd in a heartbeat.
