Tri the Parks Triathlon - Richard B. Russell State Park - TriathlonOlympic

I felt fairly good in the water - however my time was slow. I felt like my navigation, breathing, rounding the bouy, etc was all ok - not great - but ok. When I was in the water I knew I wasn't killing this swim but was pretty disappointed to see it took me nearly 40 minutes.

Work with my coach to see what I can do to improve. Maybe be more aggressive in the water? I don't think endurance is the problem. Probably need to work on speed so I can kick into an extra gear when needed.

Fastest T1 I've had since I've been doing tri's. Made some easy (and obvious - no socks, swiming with a tri top on, etc) adjustments and it paid off. Feel good about T1.

Probably spend some time practicing T1.

Good bike leg for me. This portion of the race continues to improve. I focused on keeping my HR between 135 - 145. I didn't deviate from that plan. I feel like it worked as I felt strong throughout the race. There was one last climb near the end of the ride that everyone around me was struggling with. I was able to power up the hill and maintain speed after the hill. I felt good.

For this particualr race - not too much. Keep training.

Not bad but could be better.

I stood still while putting on my race belt. Should be running out of T2 while doing this.

Felt good on the run. Found my legs right away.

My legs felt good. Should have pushed a little harder during the first mile. Overall I'm happy.

It started raining just as I crossed the finish line. I walked around and drank some water. Shortly after I finished it started to rain hard. Got packed up and left as quickly as I could.


Poor swim. Need to train a little harder to find that extra gear. Probably need to swim a little straighter too.


Good race. Lots of volunteers and drink stations. It started raining hard shortly after I crossed the finish line so I don't know about post race activities. I would recommend doing this race.
