Keuka Lake Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

I let everyone go past me since I suck at swimming. Sighted and kept my line OK for most of it. I coulden't get my tempo and breathing in sync and took too many breaks on my back to rest.

Just need more water time to more comfortable swimming.

Got back to T1 and everything was soaked. Struggled getting my bike jersey on.

Roll shirt up so that I could just roll it over me.

My legs never felt fresh. It seemed I was struggling all through it. I just concentrated on keeping my cadence up. At least my bike computor still worked. Once I got to the turnaround I picked up some good speed. Just in time for the torrential down pour! The rain was actually coming down so hard it hurt! I just laughed outloud! Here I am, biking in a driving rain, so far from the lead it's not even funny, and I WAS ENJOYING MYSELF!

Not much.

In and out od T2 was uneventful.

Nothing

Took me a couple miles to get my running legs. I eventually got into a steady rythem. Weather was a mix of steammy sun shine and rain. Took water at the aid stations. I kept good solid pace right through to the end.

Not much. Maybe push up pace more at the end.

Lack of experiance had me over thinking some things. I'll get quicker the more tri's I do.


Having team mates cheering and getting to meet some great people made for a fun day. Excellent chow in the dining hall. I had hoped to do a little better. It was a good event to highlight areas that I need to work on.
