Billy the Kid Tombstone Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Not too bad considering I haven't swam a stroke in 10 months. I could really feel the fatigue in my shoulders. Crazy, guess I should swim some if I'm going to do these things some more next year.

Train

Very happy with T-1. Since I have moved almost exclusively to ultrarunning my tri skills have gotten rusty but this transition was much better than my last T1 10 months ago.

Train

I'm happy with my bike performance as well. I probably could have taken as much as 3 minutes off this ride had I been training like I used to. I think what was hardest was feeling breathless on the bike, I've kind of lost the ability to tolerate that very well but overall it was a good ride.

Train

Another good transition. Granted, the transition was probably the smallest one I have ever seen...oh, I just looked at the results again and I'm about 10 to 15 seconds slower in T2 than everyone who had finish times withing 10 minutes of mine. Maybe T2 wasn't so great.

Train

It was kind of a tough run and I'm back to feeling a bit awakward running off the bike but I was able to hold off two teammates who were trying to chase me down (one of which actually started 3 minutes behind me so he beat me by about 2 minutes.)

Trained on the bike and the swim, my running is fine.

A complete lack of training on the bike and the swim and transitions.


It's a REALLY small race in its second year but it is very well done and it is a very nice venue for this part of New Mexico. I drove 2 hours from Albuquerque to do the race and it was well worth it.
