Victoria half and sprint - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

Didn't feel amazing and wasn't able to really push as hard as I was hoping to do. At several points I wanted to just take a break but I kept moving the whole time. Going out to the turn around section my performance was pretty poor I thought but coming back in I was able to get some drafting going and hold a steady pace all the way through to the end. When I came out of the water and saw the clock I was pretty excited that it had went as well as it did.

Start out farther back in the pack so I am not getting passed constantly for the first hundred yards of the swim. I think that made me think I was doing worse than I actually was.

Had a good transition!

I put my glasses on before wiping my face and they started to fog up so make sure and wipe my face off right away to prevent that. I need to master putting my shoes on the bike, especially for that race since the transition area is grass and I had to go a good distance in my cleats before I could mount my bike.

Pushed the pace a little to hard I thought for the first five miles. But settled in and stayed pretty consistent for the rest of the ride. The constant up and down made it difficult at times to get a consistent rhythm going but I thought I did a pretty good job of staying consistent.

Just work on spending more time in aero. I did a good job I thought, and definitely better than before but it still needs improvement

I put on socks and tied my shoes so that took a little more time than usual but it was time well spent and my run would have definitely suffered if I didn't spend that extra time.

Practice getting socks on and tieing my shoes quickly

I held the same pace the whole run and was able to negative split my last 5K. It was super challenging mentally but I dug deep and held strong. I am so pumped with how my nutrition plan worked out and how well my body responded to the distance.

Not much I thought that was pretty much as good as it gets for where my training is at right now. I actually ran under my goal pace most of the time.

Ate some food at the athletes tent and took down the fluids. Changed, packed up all my gear, and waited around for the awards


Only two years of training. I felt like this was the perfect performance for how much training I have done. With a few more years of experience I think this time can only go down more.


Awesome race! I loved the course, it was well organized, and tons of awesome volunteers. My only problem was the awards program was 45 minutes after it was scheduled to happen. My family was starving and wanted to leave but we stuck around because they kept saying awards were about to happen.
