Cranberry Trifest - TriathlonOlympic

Very Happy with the swim! This is always my worst discipline, and I was hoping for less than 35 mins. Killed it!

Just need to figure out how to not get stuck in so much traffic/kicking. (if there is a way)

Being my first Olympic, I decided not to go too crazy and take my time getting everything right.

nada.

felt like I could have been faster if I had ridden more this month. My Glutes/Butt and quads were burning more than normal. Definitely the same way I feel when I haven't been riding.

train on bike more.

pretty good transition. Didn't feel like I was mentally tack sharp on what I needed to do.
Found myself standing there for a few seconds to make sure I didn't forget anything.
Also took 10 seconds or so to stretch my legs before starting the run.

nothing really.

I was hoping to be a bit faster on the run, but I'm happy with it. My first competitive 10K, and under 8.5 minute miles. Thats cool with me.

cold facecloths on head! Thank you race directors!!



nothing but myself. (and ok, a little bit the swim traffic.)


First things first. I LOVED this race and will definitely be doing it again next year.
I have two small gripes.
1. I'm kind of pissed off that they didn't have the sized t shirt I signed up for. I mean come on,
put the schwag bags together ahead of time with the t shirts people ordered instead of putting them together on the fly. Now I have a great T shirt that is too small for me to ever wear.
2. Little bummed at the lack of recovery stuff (protein drinks etc.), after the race. Definitely not a super big deal, but I think we've all come to expect them. I would have brought something of my own if I knew they weren't going to have any sponsors on hand.
