Life Time Fitness Triathlon - Olympic Distance - TriathlonOlympic

I was hot as hell waiting on the beach baking in my cap. The Ath/Cly were the two groups ahead of me, and then we took off. I passed the majority of both waves I think cause I keep running up on them. I had a bad swim and I need to break some very bad habits.

I've developed some bad habits swimming in Lake Mich, I tend to only breastroke for sighting and stop to check out where people are located. I understand the breastroking cause swells can get pretty big in LM, but this was a small lake. Next Saturday, no Breast stroking at the charity event.

T1 was okay. All the bikes were still at the rack so it was a little tight geting my bike gear on. I had a long run to Bike Exit since I was racked next to the pros (Saw Hunter setting up - cool ride)

Lots of turns but pretty fast in the first half. Some head wind and hills on the second half, had to leave the saddle to climb. The heat really took its toll on me in the second half.

More Aero

Again most of the bikes were at the rack, that's a good thing leaving the water but a bad thing getting back from the bike.

This is weird to say, but take my time.

Worst run of my life. The heat was unreal at this point. I had ice in my cap and I was grabbing every oz. of water I could find. I was popping salt tabs like they were candy. I didn't get my legs back until about the 1.25 mile area and my heart rate just wouldn't come down enough to find my rhythm. At the 2.5 miles I FINALLY felt like I was ready to run, just in time to finsh.

Snuck into Transition area way early and packed up my stuff, I wasn't really looking forward to driving 7 hrs home. The one highlight from the weekend was as I was leaving some of the Pro's left their stuff behind, anyway Zeiger left her cap, so I snagged it!!!!


HEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT


Not sure I'd go this again because of the drive. If it was closer for sure but driving home on Saturday afternoon wasn't fun at all. I was on the road by 12:30 and at my parents house by 7pm to drop off dads truck. I stayed the night cause they just got a puppy and I didn't want to sit in a car any longer.
