Rattlesnake Triathlon - Olympic Course - TriathlonOlympic

Felt like I had a pretty good swim, on the last leg I started cramping up in my calves, and muscle cramps would plague me the rest of the day.

of course, I can always use more work on the swim.

took advantage of the wet suit strippers, that was kind of fun.

fastest in my AG for T1

drank about 2/3 of my water on the bike. ate about 1/2 a waffle. Felt pretty good, but could tell i'd lost some fitness over the last month

need to drink more calories on the bike, and maybe some electrolytes.

someone beat by by 5 sec in T2.

had abdonimal muscle cramps when I got off bike, took a few minutes to get that shut down.

I didn't have a good run, felt OK, for the first 2 miles, then at the turn around it was a bit of a gut check. My right quad started cramping with a couple of miles to go, and I was also fighting the mental battle the last couple of miles. I was out of gas, I walked a few steps, then just finally sucked it up and finished. I was on track to be sub 3 hours until the last mile.

need to find a way to take in more nutrition on the bike and run. The weather was great, I should have had a great run, just couldn't get it together.

walked around and drank some water, waited for the rest of my team to come in.


lack of calories and hydration.


This was a very well organized race, Kudos to all race staff and volunteers!
