Disco Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

Never felt good during the swim, though my training should have been fine. Felt sick at times, maybe even threw up a little. Got hit in the face three times, which I can usually avoid. Just felt slow and not good.

Was in the water 3:45 longer than last year. Terrible.

Fine. Decided to go with socks so that I wouldn't have to after bike. Was pretty fast. Still not feeling good, so took Clif bar with me.

Stayed pretty strong. Left hamstring cramps were a problem. I need to get this fixed.

Decent amount of time on the bars, though not as much as last year.

This was hard. Was still feeling pretty sick much of the time, so unsure about when to eat and what.

Got passed a lot, as usual. Official stats say 18.4 mph, this says 19.4. Must be some discrepancy on the length. My computer says 18.2

All that seems better than last year's 17.9 official -- but my time was the same.

Somehow didn't do my flying dismount, even though I had my shoes unclip and planned it. Oh well.

Had hoped for 8:00 miles, but with the heat, it was clear it couldn't happen. Just made myself jog when necessary, and tried to only walk through water stops. Mostly successful. And the ice in the hat thing really works.

Hamstring cramped once appx mile 2. This is getting to be a problem.

Strong finish.

Lack of focus? Burnout? Distraction? Who knows.

Really re-evaluating things now. Doing halfIron in the fall just doesn't seem like something I want to train for right now.


Still like the race -- even if the awesome cold showers were turned off this year for some reason (working the day before).
