Capital of Texas Triathlon - Olympic Distance - TriathlonOlympic

Started on the front row and got off well. A few folks passed me with minimal contact. Stopped once to defog my goggles. I barely kicked my legs and need to work on this. my goal had been to get under 30 min so I was pleased with the time.

Try harder to kick more and to draft more.

Used the wetsuit strippers and had decided to put shoes on in T1 without socks. It was quite a jog both from the swim exit to my bike and then with the bike up to the road.

Nothing

The 4 loops got progressively crowded as more waves joined the bike, but at no point did it seem dangerous or overcrowded. The wind was a little hairy on Congress as it whistled between buildings on the cross streets. I need to lose a few lbs to be more effective on the hills, but I seemed to catch up on the descents. I took a power gel after the second and third loop in anticipation for the run. My goal had been to maintain 20 mph av speed so a little disappointed there.

Work harder..?

Moved efficiently. I didn't come out of my shoes on the bike as the transition area was very sandy, so I wanted to minimize the amount of dirt on my bare feet before I put on my run shoes without socks.

Nothing

I seem to be good at knocking out 8.30 pace 10k's after my 52.41 in Kemah last month! This run went well and I felt strong. Had a low point in mile 4 but walked through the aid station and got going again.

Nothing

Technical & windy bike course


A little more organization required in the early morning transition (no body marking available where we needed it).
