Yam City Triathlon - TriathlonMini Sprint

Usual sucky swim. Two seconds slower than last year. Dylan started 10 seconds behind me and passed me on the second turn.

Time includes short run to transition.

One of these days I'm going to learn to swim.

Uneventful, passed Dylan in transition. Seventh fastest overall.

Nothing, pretty routine

Not a bad ride. Passed a lot of folks early, no one passed me, kept my lead on Dylan. This course includes a bad stretch of service road that is impossible to ride in aero and hard to maintain 20 mph. They're supposed to be resurfacing next month.After the service road, hit a nice stretch of good pavement and tailwind that had me up over 27 for the whole length.

Nearly two minutes (a full mph) slower than last year.

This whole season has been recovery from last winter's nagging little injuries, so neither my bike nor run is up to par. Hopefully I can continue to work it over the winter and have a better season next year.

Not sure why this was so slow, nearly 20 seconds slower than last year.

Dunno

Not many races where my run placement (120th) is going to be slower than my swim (104th). Run is nowhere close to where it should/could be.

Dylan passed me within the first quarte-mile,as do Aaron, another 18-year-old. He said "Caught you!" I said, "Yeah, you're one-third my age." Almost caught up to Dylan when he walked the water station, but then I caught a side cramp and had to back off.

2:15 slower than last year. More than a minute a mile.



**sigh**

Stood around, drank, ate, talked.


Injury setback and weight gain.


Keith always puts on a great little race, tons of volunteers, nice enough course. Good job again!
