Gerick's Rocky Mountain Triathlon - TriathlonShort Course

Pretty good swim, just tried to relax and breath - took in a bit of water once, but otherwise, the swim was just head down and go.. didn't push too hard as didn't want to get hyperventilating like last year, and the swim was in the range of what I hoped.

Now that I'm feeling a little more confident and see where I ended, I'd probably go harder from the front next time

Fairly slow and relaxed in T1 - no problem getting suit off - legs a little shaky, but no major problems, slipped shoes on, walked to mounting area and off..

Maybe run to mounting area.. bare feet next time in my cycle shoes?

Fairly relaxed, could have probably have pushed harder, was trying to save some for my run

Push harder - keep higher average speed.

Again - fairly relaxed in transition - no major problems - used speed laces - very nice addition

Run in and out of transition?

Again - the weakest part of my tri by far - see ranking :( - but, on the up side, improved by almost 10 min. - still really slow relatively, but from 43:49 to 34:00 - very good for me. Also, consider that I really felt like I had no legs 100m into the run. All in all, a good news/bad news result - much better, but clearly still so much work needed in the run.

Need lots of more work in the run, simple as that.

Walk around, eat some fruit, followed by hot-tub


Hmm... about 40 lbs. of weight, lack of time on the run training, and probably pushing a little harder on the bike.


This is the only event I've ever been to, but I would have a hard time finding fault with it - very good people, beautiful setting - a definite thumbs up!
