Miami University Student Foundation Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I cut in line because I padded my time a bit for the swim, but looking around at the people and how much I wanted the race to be over, I self seeded. The swim went FAST for me....by the time I 'looked' around I had 100 to go and them wham, I was donzo!

Flying starts can go kiss my grits.

One of my cleats had come loose and it took me FOREVER to snap in at the mount line. I was pissed cause I knew it was loose and I forgot to fix it Fri night. 1/2 way through I got a cramp in my calf- a huge knot. It slowed me way down and I'm sure I would of done much better had that not occurred. This was my first race with the Bumblebee and I'm a nervous nelly when it comes to cornering...and the roads were wet. I really do need to grow a pair.

Socks were wet so instead of putting them on I went sans.

Hey look! Maybe I should run more?

MORE BRICKS PLEASE! I cramped up so bad that my first mile I sorta hobbled. I high fived Twink as she passed me on her return right around mile 1. Damn that girl can RUN!

Thank goodness that BananaToes was on course- I needed the high fives. I was so in pain the first time I ran past that all I could say was "I need more bananas" cause I was cramping so bad from the bike and then the grip. Now that I'm home I reflect that might have been taken the wrong way by our resident pale face but meah, races make us crazy.

Walked around in the rain, got a banana.


The cramp in my left leg during the bike. The grip is a given but I could of pushed so much harder on the bike. I'm very unhappy but that's not something I could of controlled.


I would of liked a water station right out of T2.
