Hyannis Sprint 2 Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I got in the water and I had a little trouble breathing, but not much. It seems that it IS the cold water that gives me diffulty breathing. I took until the 1st bouy to really feel better. Once I hit the bouy I could put my face in the water well. It felt good and that's when I felt the lack of swim training. I moved back and forth from crawl to breast. Overall I felt pretty good and was fairly happy. I also started slow and stayed back so that took time off

Not much other than get a wetsuit and just more swiming. I'll get better.

This is approx, took time off of the bike to estimate what my time was. I felt better, learned to walk first 10 yards to get over being 'water dizzy.'

Just move faster

I felt like I was stuck in the mud. I didn't train much, but hadn't been feeling great. I kept thinking I had a flat or some rubbing. I passed some people, and got blown by by others. Just didn't feel as good as prevoius races. Not sure why.

Train more, Don't take so much time off.

Was just slow

Not much, except get shoe on better

I need to learn to run "Like someone is chasing me." I tried that, unfortionately, pretty much EVERYONE caught up to me. Man am I slow. I was much slower at the beginning than the end. I felt like I had lead legs and the worked out about 1 mile in. I had to stop to fix my shoe as I had a wrinkle in my sock which bugged me. Then I took about 1+ minute to pee. Hey, when you gota go, you gota go. I saw a few people coming out of the woods so I went in. Boy I hope I didn't wind up exactly where the others went. If so, oh, well!

I'm getting a little sick of getting passed on the run. I feel like I can't get better. I turned to one guy who was passing me and who was at the same time being passed by someone even faster and yelled "Show-off" at least of one of them heard me, the slower one, and I'm pretty sure the faster guy had already broken the sound barrier at that point. I was in wave 4 - and I was labled D for my age group. I know the next wave was also D. I got passed by an H!! Old fast guys, suck - Oh, and so do the Old Fast WOMEN!

I AM proud of one thing on the run. There was a guy who passed me with about 200 yards to go. I said "F this" and I'm going to pass him. I caught up to him at the beginning of the turn and passed him on the SAND! I was at least 10 steps in front of him when I finished!

Run faster. I need to get faster.

Had to wait for the mrs who looked pretty good as she finished! Waited with my buddy Sam and the Dawg who had a great time.


Training and not feeling great for a week or so leading up to the race.


Was a great race. We stayed about 1/2 mile from the course at a place with the dog and made a weekend of it. Had a nice weekend with the Mrs, even got some great sleep, as we had seperate beds. There are nights where I think Lucy and Dezzy had it right. Leave it to the Brady's to spoil a good night's sleep!
