Lake Dunmore Triathlon (8/8/10) - TriathlonOlympic

The swim was what I worried about the most. I felt good and got into a rhythm for most of it. Didn't really bump or crash into anyone. Had an issue when I got turned after the 1st lap and I tried sighting for the buoy to take me in after the 2nd lap. Should have waited, but I got a little anxious about it. It broke my rhythm a bit.

Swim faster. I def think I can get down to a 2min/100 swim in the next year.

I was super happy about this transition. It clicked for the first time ever!

This is my FASTEST bike in a swim EVER!!! I am so proud of myself since the bike isn't my strength at all. I planned for 2 hrs and when I got through the first loop in 50 min, I knew I could repeat it which I came very close to. I slowed up a bit at the end to prep for the run and shake my legs out and get my breathing under control.

I would bike faster!!! I'm really happy with the result as I've made such big strides in just one year :)

Super fast, even for me. Decided to go without hat. It helped to take my biking gloves off en route to the dismount line.

Pushed it pretty hard on the run. Was fine until mile 4 when the sun was really beating down on one portion. Most of the course had tree coverage. Drank pretty well- could have had a bit more, but I was ok. When I got hot I felt nauseous, but ate a clif blok and felt better a few min later.

Run a little harder. I should have also brought my own drink for running.

Had to get inhaler ASAP. Did some stretching and ate pizza and oreos. Drank a lot of fluid.


Being a novice. Otherwise, the temp was great and I really performed better than I expected. I'm really exited about today and feel really good about my accomplishment!!


Good race, well organized and a great venue. We stayed for the weekend and it was nice to relax before the race. I should mention that I tapered really well and got tons of rest the week before which contributed to my good race.
