Bangs Lake Multisport Festival - Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

I was nervouse about the running beach start but I placed myself on the outside and it worked out well. I tried to find some to draft but did not have any luck. I kept my pace a little faster than normal and paid a price (hamstring cramp on first mile of the bike).

I need to still work on running after the swim. The 300 yard run stiffened up my leg muscles.

The bikes were tightly together on the racks and I could not get it off easily. I forgot to reset my computer (again) and I did not have my bike in the proper gear. Because my legs were tight I did not jump on my bike.

I'm not sure at this point.

I got a hamstring cramp within the first 500 feet and I had to stop and stretch. It all worked out well in the end. The key was that I remained calm. The main goal was to keep my avg speed down a bit and save some legs for the run. I was able to accomplish that. I used my smaller chainring a lot which proved benefficial in saving the legs.

I need to stay in the aero position for longer amounts of time.

Couldn't do the dimount because there was a turn right before the dismount. I didn't practice that so I didn't try it. I had a hard time racking the bike.

Nothing at this point

This was the strongest run that I have ever had. The training worked!!! I was prod of the run and felt competitive to the end. I was able to pass people and I even had short speed bursts after passing them to keep them from passing me back. I never had a finish harder than that one. Great Run Today!!

Nothing!

Light Stretching and used a G-series drink from gatorade.


My aerobic threshold levels on the bike needs to come up. I need to get them up in the swim as well.


I did use positive mental messaging throughout the entire run, not just the last mile and it worked out well. I was proud of my ability to make my competition suffer a bit as they tried to stay with me on the run. I am excited about my time and am looking forward to getting into the 2:30's
