Mossman Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

elite wave, started off good, some contact, lack of recent swimming showed up late in swim, felt good, was just a little tired and hr was getting high. did the best i could, but still got pretty much smoked by everyone in my wave. overall i was happy with the effort and time. i just need to train more.

swim more

dropped bike on way out, hands were slick from salt water, bike just fell out of my hands, picked it up and continued on.

not drop bike, get HR settled

Time to get my fastest-bike-split-a-thon ass in gear. Had a hard time breathing and getting HR under control. Simply an issue with swim fitness that carried over to bike. First lap was not as fast as second, i finally started to get legs and lungs as the ride went on. pushed hard but not crazy hard, ran down all but 6 people, i was 7th into T2. Lots of traffic and negotiating passes on second loop. road bars made cornering a breeze, and if i was not in aero, i was in the drops hammering. Course record and PR, no complaints.

2009 32m50s

not much, maybe warm up on the bike longer.

almost killed a friend trying to rack my bike, lol!! got it in and had a hard time getting running shoes on.

no idea

have not run in a month, was afraid IT band was gonna act up, it never did thankfully. High fived friends, walked the aid station thanking volunteers, on way back had a girl try and throw a deep out route pass with the water baggies, she missed and i went back to pick it up. High fived fellow racers on way in and out, nice local race, i know 100's of people here. Run was ok, pace was a bit off, faked it pretty good, not too terribly upset with run considering i had not run in a month. Training for a 5k woulda went a long way.

not be hurt with multiple strains and issues that woulda allowed me to run train.

hung out walked around, met friends a few BTer's and went home to BeerBQ version 4, drank and ate all day, had a great time.

great local race, good size field. Must do sprint if you are in the area.
