Kinetic Half - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

Given my hurried start to the race I was very frantic at the start. I need to relax at the start of a swim and find my rhythm by going slowly at first. First 200m were awful. I stopped often and was out of breath.

Arrive on time. Start the swim in a relaxed way.

Fair transition.

A good ride. I felt the wind a lot on the parts exposed to the lake. It was difficult to control the bike with strong crosswinds. This is still an area where I need to improve.

Keep riding.

I did not feel as fast or as comfortable as I did on this run last year so I was pleasantly surprised to see my time was only about 20 seconds slower. I felt my foot injury, but it did not impede me. It did occur to me during the race that because of the injury I had not run further than 7 miles since January. It is a hard run but I am happy with it.

Not injure my foot by increasing mileage too quickly from December to January.

Swim in the lake. Discovered that the ankle bracelet had badly cut into my leg.


Not relaxed at the start.


I'll be back. I love this race. Low budget and low key in a remote location. I felt for the volunteers as the wind was blowing the cups everywhere and we are not a very considerate lot.
