Got the Nerve? Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Run to transition was longer this year than last year, I believe, making my swim time seem even worse than it was. Also, for some reason I wasn't doing a good job of focusing on my form and proper rotation. Took me almost half the way through to get into a better more normal rhythm.

Navigate better. Seemed to have a little trouble staying where I wanted to on the 2nd leg of the triangle

Did a good job of getting out of my wetsuit smoothly.

Very disappointed that I didn't get my bike under an hour. That was a goal for this year. However, I feel I was a bit better at passing others than I have been in the past (willingness to go around rather than wimp out and not pass).

Push harder, get better at hills.

Haven't been running since March because of Achilles issues, so no big surprise that I didn't have a good run.

Run more (and not be injured).

Got a water and watermelon slice, yum! Then drank some more water, then an iced tea, and so it goes. I sweat a lot and am always super thirsty post-race.


Being afraid of pushing too hard on the bike and absolutely blowing up. I need to find out how hard I can push.

After the race I thought I was close to my swim and bike goals but once the results were posted I realized I didn't make either one. I was disappointed in that, although I did knock 4 minutes off of last year's time, which does make me happy. New PR for this race (3rd year racing this race), LOL. Already looking forward to beating these times next year!

Very well-run, organized race for a great cause. Thanks to Chris and all the volunteers who made this a successful day!
