Cazenovia Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Swim was slow for everyone, which I think had more to do with the chop then being long. Everyone was 2-3 minutes slower then expected and based off last years time.

also, my swim time inlcudes T1.

T1 included in swim.

good T1

good bike, but I lost significant time on a downhill, where I had to go into the grass because I couldn't handle the turn.

awful mistake, lost all momentum and csot me a minute easy. went from 30+ MPH to around 1, into the grass, then had to build speed back up....



not be an idiot at that downhill turn that I knew was coming

ahhhh...the demise of every race it seems. The run.

It's not a pacing issue, as my runs are right were my fitness would indicate. I just need to be a better runner. 1-2 minutes faster, which would still not be fast, would get me right where I need to be.

running is my weakness for sure.

If my biking and swimming stayed the same, but I became a better runner, I'd be a better triathlete.

In fact, I could even lose some on the bike as long as I became a better runner.

I/my coach think it is a few things:
-biomechanics
-weight
-more run training

run more in training

pizza, cookies, choclate milk. figure I'd get a jump start on that weight issue holding me back on the run. :)


3 weeks of no structured training and an IM 3 weeks ago.


good race put on by my tri club. I entered the Elite wave this year, and did OK. I am capable of better where I am at today, just wasn't able to bring my A game due to obvious reasons.

All in all, a good day and a great race!
