Tri-ing for Children's Triathlon - Olympic Course - TriathlonOlympic

OK swim, glad to have worn the wetsuit despite the water temperatures. The lake is too shallow and there were weeds that had grown tall enough to impede a proper swim stroke. There was a slower person in front of me that seemed to practically be blocking me for 2/3 of the swim. Finally got around him and finished the swim strong.

Power past the slower swimmer who was blocking me much earlier and find some open water to swim in. I was stuck in a pack for most of the swim.

I need to press myself in the transitions. Too slow.

Need to push myself harder on the bike. Too fat right now to be fast but I'm just not challenging myself like I am actually racing. Yes this is my first season and I've approached each race with the idea of just having fun and that has resulted in slowwww.

Press harder

This run was easier than my last try but my time was the same slow time.

Need to lose more weight and push the run training much harder between now and TRIrock in Sept.

Walk around, talked with my wife and drank some water


I'm too fat and actually gained weight during race season. Shame, shame, shame.


I'll definitely be back next year (God willing). This was a fun race. I'm in my first season and every race is an exciting event for me. I feel like a kid on Christmas eve waiting to start and then it's just fun, fun, fun. :)
