Folsom Olympic Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

It was my stongest swim of the season so far and I was very happy with it. I was able to average a 1.40/100 which is ok for me. It is my weakest sport, but I was happy with this swim. I came out of the water in 2nd by 4 minutes...ug.

I need to get serious about my swim training. Like most of us, I am training to just finish the swim. But if I had swam faster by just 35 seconds-i would have placed 1st in my class.

Best T1 of the year for me.

Nothing

My legs left tired early on the ride. My fitness is good, but I was coming down with a cold I think. I just never felt great on the bike today. I rode a good time, but felt I could have done better.

I hit the dismount line and did my flying dismount and had no problems. Started running with my bike and the front tire turned and the bike crashed into the timing equipment. I was still running a few steps into transition and had to stop and get my bike saying out loud "hey, I need that!" the spectators all laughed.

Not drop my bike....still had a blazing fast trasnistion for me.

Had what I thought was a slow run even though I averaged a sub 8 minute 10K. I am able to run a 7:30-7:45 10k off the bike and was trying today. But the lack of energy on the bike, followed me into the run. If I had been able to push the run, I could have made up for the swim. While I outran number 1's run and bike time, the 4 minutes I gave away on the swim was just 30 seconds too much.

No warm down other than loving on my wife and kids who got to see me race for the first time this year.


Getting sick or lack of real consistant training.


USA does a good job and I will run this one next year.
