Donner Lake Triathlon - Sprint Distance - TriathlonSprint

Good sighting but almost went too far around the second bouy. Not sure why my arm felt so tired; the guy where I rented it said that it was an older suit and the newer ones are made with more flexibility for movement.

Really, it has to do with training, more consistent more focused...more everything.

Looks like a long T time but the distance from the lake to the transition area and from the tranisition area to the bike out are a pretty good distance. Even running in sand with the bike on the way out!

Think transition went pretty well. I was out of my suit faily quickly and even put socks on for the bike ride which I usually forgo to save minutes.

I will work on this hill more often now that I know I can do it.

Bike hills more often...they seemed so out of reach before but now that I know I can complete hills I need to head out of town and add hills to my training.

This went fairly smoothly. Should remember to take my helmet off while running with the bike to the rack. Otherwise it was good.

Hills felt like mountains and I walked up the hills. I let gravity do its thing on the way back. Wished I didn't feel the need to walk.

Again...it comes down to training. My watch had a different time, and of course I would not mention this if it weren't shorter, my watch was 19:42 with my first mile at 10:10 and my second at 9:32.

A little stretching


Training...what can I say, isn't it always training?
This was a challenging race for me because of the hill but I have over come that and can now train harder and stronger because I know I can. The best part was seeing my grandson there when I came off the bike. His cute little two year old face saying go Grandma!


The race was fun but that's always my main goal...have fun!
