Cochiti Lake Triathlon - Olympic Course - TriathlonOlympic

Less than 2 mins per hundred. The wetsuit helps and the swim felt good. Again I felt hungry part way through the swim but I have had 0 GI issues. I did get completely run over by a FOP'er from the 2nd wave which i thought was pretty weak on his part. The water was super dirty, like 6 inches of visibility, but it was on the last leg of the 2nd lap and the field was spread out. Made me mad more than anything but over all the swim was good.

I am feeling pretty comfortable with the OWS. Maybe next season it's time for a coach to make me faster.

Coming out of the water I had trouble getting my velcro undone and zipper down. To offset the jerk who ran over me someone behind me helped me out. Thanks!
If you didn't get your bike in granny gear before getting on good luck climbing the boat ramp. My wife said lot's were walking the bikes up. I had no problems and cruised up the ramp and out to the dam.

nothing

The road across the dam sucks, it sucks bad. 1 of my aluminum water bottle cages actually fatigued and broke off. It is really rough to the point I am bruised on my sits bones. My saddle fits great it's just that rough. My tri bike is aluminum and so is my seat post so the set up is super stiff. I think I need a carbon bike!
Everybody road the same course but after a while it's not fun. The rest of the course is really smooth so go figure. Across the dam is flat and then its a good decent and climb back up for the next loop. I had a good bike split. 2 Gus on the bike.

Gotta figure out the hydration system that works

In and out baby, gabbed a water bottle for the run

nothing

The climb up the boat ramp again this time was tough, it's uphill essentially to the dam turnoff. I had no problem with the PF but I now have a black toe. It doesn't hurt but I could feel some pressure. 2 gus on the run 1, right away and one at the turn. Lots of water stations, but glad i brought a bottle to sip on if for nothing else but o break up the run. It's flat across the dam. I did have to walk about 100yds coming back when the course turns up off the dam road. Stsill broke an hour and I haven't run but 3 times prior to this since 6/24 (Storrie lake), 2 of those were XTERRA and DamitMan.

I think I can go back to run training now. I am glad I decided not to push it as it hasn't affected my race pace and I feel healthy.

Walked around and had some candy and water. packed up and went back tot he AC in the RV.


Even though I felt hungry at the start I have had 0 gi issues and think my nutrition is pretty good. I may try eating a little more in the morning, maybe egg white omelet in addition to the sweet potato


Chasing 3 puts on a great race.
