Surf and Turf Series #1 - Long Course - Aquathlon

Run was second so I will do this first.
Got out of the water to a quick T1 and saw Matt and Julia. Wow, I can believe I got out with them. They got out of T1 before me. Started the run easy. First mile 6:50. Had a serious side cramp, again, like last year. I don't have this problem in Tri's so I don't kow what is up. It subsided a bit after I slowed way down going down the back hill. Was able to pick it up a bit and then the wind and hill hit me. I slowed way down again. after the hill I picked up the pace and felt real good. I wish I had felt like that for the whole run. Poor run! I can't remember the last time I went over 21 minutes in a 5k. Maybe I will take some Ibuprophen the next race to relax the muscles.

Run better.

Suit off and shoes on were good. Number belt sunglasses and hat. Swim time includes T1.

Nothing

Good swim for me however I had noone to draft off. I did have 2 guys drafting me the entire time and they beat me out of the water. So I get to the last bouy and some lady is floating on her back. I didn't see her and I totally t-boned her. I sat up and both hammies cramp up immediatly. I was on my back for a good 15 seconds and decided to start swimming. They loosened up pretty well. I kicked hard at the end so they didn't crapm again when I stood up. No problems. They are still sore today however.

Find someone to draft off of.

Beers!


My run and crapming in my side.


great mid week race with the buds!
