Spudman Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

cancelled swim b/c of weather

fishtailed right b/f first speed bump on dam road, yikes! Needed to dial it back a little.

Could have gotten helmet on faster, was screwing around with strap too long. Really need to get better transition times.

Went strong on the bike for my ability, not sure what would happen, just tried keeping a handle on my HR. Did'nt attack the hills used a lighter gear and just tried to get thru them and then be on my way. Felt good, had so much fun!

Just keep training to get stronger. Probably have to train hill more, oh joy.

Some of the above things just didn't apply and I thought you couldn't run with helmet off, haven't practiced that one. Could do better putting number belt on, it seems so simple but I could shave some seconds off that. Also, I didn't unbuckle my shoes b/f getting there, totally forgot until now, duh, forgot on the 70.3 too, my brain shuts off. Need to practice more so it's in there when I'm in robotic race mode.

see above

Ok not sure what it means when it says overall in bike and run I'm 104 overall for the whole race. I came in 1st in the run and the bike in my AG but don't know what my overal time is separately for each event compared to the whole shebang.
Felt good on the run, I was really pushing it, have never trained that fast, never thought I'd see and 8:08 split, that was cool.

I realize it would bode me well to try and actually "train" on running, like doing some intervals...which I don't like or at least start trying to finish runs on the last mile faster than the rest of the run just to see what I can handle and get used to speeding up and staying there.

walked around, stretched a little ate banana,grapes,bagle, tiny taco. Hung out with folks, talking times and races. By the time I got home was soooo famished, ate a bunch of chicken and pasta va zule and sauce, oh yummy, hit the spot. Had recoverite when I got home b/c forgot to have it after race, doi.


Could train more and harder I'm sure but I don't want this to become unfun.


Well, it would have been a great race if we could have done the swim, bummer but it really wasn't safe. Also, they shortend the bike AND the run so that wasn't cool but I guess they couldn't figure a way to lengthen it b/c of construction, oh well. I was able to up the ante b/c of the shortened distance and that certainly worked in my faver so that was fun. Looking forward to the Emmett race to see what I can do in a real oly, that's where the rubber meets the road.
