Mountain Man Triathlon - Half Iron Distance - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

Good grief. Was trying for 45m. I know my swim sux and not looking for miracles. Thought this would go better.

Got some work to do. understatement of the year!

Not much to say here. little demoralized by swim. just trying to be steady and not forget anything.

nothing

Got on and up to speed. Felt good. Tried to stay super easy until the final run into transition. Passed quite a few but the half people were really spread out.

Nothing. pretty happy with this ride

Shoe fell off pedal when I stepped off. Had to stop to pick it up,grrr

Pay attention when stepping off pedal. Just lost concentration for a sec.

Poor run. Mental focus was just not there. Fell into trap of walking with people around me. I felt ok most of the time and actually caught and passed people all of the time which is hard to believe.

HTFU

Tried to get out of the rain. Didn't realize how cold I was until after. brrr


Swim and general fitness. It's my first year of tri. Only my second tri ever. I have one more oly before IMAZ and I feel pretty good. The races get easier and faster every time. Keep doing the work!!


Only complaints I have are: Traffic, I had 2 really close calls on the course. Some of the drivers seemed really PO'd at the racers and didn't give an inch of road.
Security, I know its a small race but no security in transition is no bueno in my opinion. Anyone could've walked out bikes with no questions asked. Other than those two perfect race.
