Northwoods Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Went off fast. Waay to fast. I got into a group of swimmers and was being kicked left right and centre. I could have dropped back but no. For some reason I decided to try to get out front, and suceeded. The first 100m bouy came up very fast. so did the turn bouy. I knew I was toast from then on. The swim back was a slow plod. But I kept moving. I switched to breast stroke a couple of times to navigate. All in all it was an OK swim. I was even coming up on some of the slowcaoches from the first wave.

Swimming with so many people for so long is a relatively new experience for me. I stood up a bit too early and waded in. I should have swam a bit further

One heel got ever so slightly stuck removing my wetsuit otherwise no probs.

Why isn't there an "excellent" for your performance. I rocked!!!
I got in a zone and just turned those pedals over and watched the road zip past below me. It was my best bike ride ever.

Abso-bloody-lutely nothing

No problems

Last race of the season. I just decided to give as much as I could for as long as I could. Which was for about 3.05 miles. I had no strength left for a kick and someone sprinted past me for 50th overall. But heck I've done that to people myself.
This year the first woman didn't pass me until 1 mile into the run.

What would you do differently?:

There's nothing wrong with 7.5 min miles after a 21mph bike ride.

Hung out with Dave, Jeff Mark and Kelly. Got our free Ice creams.
There was a problem with my chip timing as it took forever for me to appear on the results.


Pointless question. I was 5 minutes faster than last year. Still not enough to get me a top 10 AG place though


This is my favourite race of the year. Without a doubt. The support from the townspeople is wonderful. Free ice cream at the finish. What more could you ask for.
See you all same time next year
