Rumpass in Bumpass International - TriathlonOlympic

I took it easy on the swim in order to do better on bike and run and build progressively throughout the race. Swam faster than a year prior, feel as though fitness is better than a year prior. Current and wind was a beast.

Could not get feet in shoes with them clipped into pedals, need to practice this.

Get up to speed on a flat surface before attempting to put feet into shoes.

Good bike, took it easy though in order to maintain some for the run. My bike was a full two minutes slower than a year prior.

Need to work on transitions. Shoes continously hit the ground while trying to run to transitions.

Quads began to cramp as a result of effort or crank to long. Took the run slow. Although I am capable of running faster. Goal was to complete in 48 minutes. Took a gel (Hammer Rasberry) at the 3 mile mark and seemed to feel better. Need to get better at the run!!

Take a gel near the end of the bike in order to set up the run.

Drank a beer and sat in the cold lake.


The run. Failed this miserably again.


Good first race of the season to take inventory of my fitness. Held back on the swim and bike in order to set up the run. Temp was not to hot, still confused as to why my quads are cramping.
