Evergreen Lake International Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

I'm not a strong swimmer so I was happy with this. I had some toe cramps in the last few hundred meters and had to rest a couple times, but for the most part it went good for me.

Get mentally tougher. I think I could have freestyled the whole way if I could get over the mental block.

I should learn the rubber band trick, but I was pleased with my effort anyway. I pre-rolled my socks and that worked well for me.

nothing at this point

This was a pretty strong bike for me. I was happy with it. I was a little surprised, and heard lots of people complain about the hills, but I enjoy them and was right at home. Lost a water bottle out of my Xlab wing with Gorilla cages. Not sure if I didn't put it back right or it launched. I just didn't notice till it was gone.

I did a gel at the beginning of the bike and one at the end.
Drank 40oz of Gatorade Perform

pretty smooth here for me.

It was hot. I started cramping at mile 1. I was happy to make it through. I reverted to run/walk/massage/run. I should have finished this in 45-50 minutes easy!! Not sure why I cramp up like this. I went into the race hydrated and should have drank plenty on the bike. I do plenty of brick work outs in training too. Frustrating!!

I need to figure out my cramp issues!

Quad cramps on the run and my ability to swim


I will be doing this race next year. I have friends in the area and this is a great excuse to visit for a weekend. It was well run and the course was great. I definitely want to do this again.

I have to look at my results again. My swim pace says 2:47/100 but the time says 44 minutes. The volunteers said we were at 37 minutes when I got out of the water which would make sense of the 2:47 pace. I'm confused. I estimated most of the results right now. I don't have my time slip on me and don't have official results yet.
