Memorial Hermann Bridgeland Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Felt like a good swim. Checked my garmin upon exiting and time was about a minute and a half longer than I wanted it to be.

Swim faster

Things went well. Didn't realize I forgot to put on my race belt until I was 5 miles into the race.

Be faster

Heart rate was up in the 160's the whole time. I like to be in the 150's for the bike, so the last 5 miles I took it pretty easy to try and get it back down. I wish the two pieces of roadkill would have been removed. My stomach wasn't 100%, so I almost yacked when I caught the stench of the dead possum.

Go faster while maintaining a lower heart rate.

I tweeked my ankle a week before the race while doing some sprints and adding that to my post Buffalo Springs recovery, I wasn't where I wanted to be training wise for this race. It showed on the run. I used my HIM infiti drink on the bike and it didn't sit well in my stomach. Started to feel better around mile 2, but the race was over before I knew it and the run had once again pulled my overall results down.

run more and faster

Sat down and ate some food with my buddy who had just completed his first triathlon. Introduced myself to Ritter since he was sitting across from me.


Lack of training and my tweeked left ankle.


Great event ! You could tell the director put alot thought into the event. Thank you for having gatorade at the end. I've been at too many races and its just water (sometimes warm water at that) I like the age group ranking on each leg of the results, but would still like to see the overall results on each leg as well.
