IronGear Sports Rio Salado Triathlon - Sprint Course - TriathlonSprint

Had a good swim, was happy that my pace was under 2:00/100yd. Really felt like I had a strong swim. This is the 1st race EVER that my swim time was higher place than both my bike and my run! Unbelievable. At the time, I was feeling good about my swim but I've felt that way before and the clock didn't show it.....

Not much, keep improving. I felt this was as good of a swim as I could come up with, at this point. My sighting and buoy rounding has improved a great deal with just simply more experience.

Really felt like I had great transitions today, so to keep myself humbled, I looked up the times for the winner of the race and my T1 was :22 slower than the winner. Can't imagine where I could shave off that much time! Maybe just more and more practice. Really felt my transitions were both aced, as this season, I really felt my short course transitions have been getting extremely faster.

Keep practicing, couldn't really do much different!

Couldn't believe my bike was ranked lowest out of the 3 disciplines....That's a 1st. Maybe it means my other 2 are improving or some real good cyclists showed up today! To be 8th in my age group and have my bike split ranked 18th is really gonna keep me focused on not getting complacent on what I always have felt was my strength. Really felt like I did good here, didn't feel like I was getting tired or like I was struggling to keep my pace up.....

Peddle faster!!!! Lol!

Same story here, my T2 time was :14 slwer than the leaders.

More practice,practice,practice!!! Really felt good about this transition!

Really felt this was the strongest I felt out of the last 2 sprints I've done in these last few weeks. When I felt I needed to keep picking up the pace, I was able to.

Keep plugging away.....

Ate a bunch of fruit and hung out with Nate and Charles(from FCA!) and waited for Jason to finish!


I'm fat and slow!:)


Race was a bit late due to some bike course issues, no biggie! Glad I wasn't doing the Oly, things were getting toasty! Considering this ws my 4th race in 20 days, I felt good about it! I'm definately improving and I've kinda rediscovered the sprint. I always neglected the sprint beacause I always had the longer is better mentality but mixing it up now with sprints,olys and 1/2s is definately alot more fun! I've learned more and met some good people and got to know some people I've known for awhile, better! Such a great sport! It's back to work with that 1/2 in October coming up then the full marathon again, in January! Felt good to get the win last week and a top 10 age group finish at a big TTL race...Definately lights the fire brighter and keeps me striving for bigger and better things!
