Pinchot Park Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

i started my watch exactly when the timer started and checked it as soon as i got out of the water and my actual swim time was 13:20. the other 36 seconds were spent running/stripping my way up to T1. Great swim for me though! finished it 2 minutes faster than anticipated.

ahh, nothing. im happy with it.

shaved 21 seconds from last year and i even had a full wetsuit on instead of that shorty john thing from before.

last year i biked this in 61:10 and hoped to do it in 59:xx this year. so coming in another 2 minutes faster than expected makes me even more happy.

lose a few more pounds and ride more hills. i could gain steadily on the flats but lose ground on the hills. not sure what was more the problem, the flab or not enough bike riding.....

about 10 seconds faster than last years time.

i didnt feel like i was running a sub 24 minute 5k, thats for sure. i did not practice any bricks yet this year. felt terrible first 2 miles. after climbing the hill near mile 3 at a near death crawl, i felt much better that 3rd mile and cranked it out to the finish. knocked off exactly 2 minuted from my run time last year. i got concerned that i have to quadruple these distances for savageman and somehow survive and finish.

practice more bricks. suck it up.

drank water. got pics with family. enjoyed the feeling of completing another race.


not enough biking. of the miles of logged biking this year, not even 100 of them have been on the road. not enough brick practice.


if they get my timing and name fixed and in the right category, i'll be much happier.
