Keuka Lake Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Had a good swim once I settled down and got out of the scrum. I think I got out too fast or get out of rhythym in the scrum and end up back stroking/dog paddling for a few seconds.

Not freak out in the beginning

Wetsuit got stuck on my calves again! (Left worse than right) This has happened a couple of times before - used body glide this time, but didn't seem to help

Figure something out with wetsuit (cooking spray?) - otherwise transition went well

I had put a gel in my tri-top pocket, but it must have fallen out when I was struggling to get out of my wetsuit because it wasn't there when I went to get it at the turnaround. I was happy with the bike leg especially since I've had limited training time on the bike this year.

Put gel in different pocket; Train on bike more (first time outside on bike this year!!)

Got the right row, but missed my spot - took a few seconds to re-orient myself. First time racing in my Zoots - went on easily. Felt like this transition went very smoothly

I made sure I counted rows, but somehow missed my spot - improving that would probably have saved 15 seconds or so...

Felt pretty good considering had just raced on Thursday and had run on Saturday. Don't normally drink Heed, but had a little bit since I didn't get my gel on the bike. Wasn't as bad as I remembered it, but I did follow it with water.

Pushed a little harder through the last mile.

Walked around, drank a bottle of water; went to change


Limited bike training


Post race food is the best I've seen anywhere! I'd rate it higher if the road were better (promises of paving for next year - we'll see...) I was happy with my performance since I wasn't really expecting to do well coming off Corporate Challenge. The lake temperature was a nice surprise too as I worried for months about how cold that lake would be!!
