Lake Marion Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Like a lot of the age groupers, it took me a bit of time to get used to the choppy conditions. Once I got past the first 200 yeards and found a groove, I was able to calm down a bit and deal with the chop. After I got around the first buoy, things seemed to be easier.

GET A WETSUIT!!!!!!

I put my shoes on in T1 as I've never tried to put the shoes on while clipped in.

My time this year was almost 5 minutes better than last year.

Maybe sit down to put my running shoes on?

The big difference between this year and last year was that last year's run was more like a half jog/half walk. Not this year. I kept a fairly consistent pace throughout.

Work on my overall endurance in the offseason.

I was very happy with my 15 minute improvement compared to last year! Going in my outward goal was to go sub-1:45. But deep within, I wanted to have a 15 minute improvent. Mission accomplished. Goal for next year? To be right around the 1:30:00 mark. Now the dilemma is how to get there.
