Tempe International Triathlon - Olympic Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

We swam into the morning sunrise and I couldn't see the first bouy for the life of me...I ended up sighting the wrong bouy and swam about 100m off course.

I should have went with my gut instinct which was telling me that I was swimming straight and not to change my heading. But as usual I didn't trust myself so I got myself off course.

I had a few problems getting my socks on, I think I forgot to use the secret weapon that useually helps me get them on faster.

Use the secret weapon on the socks.

Huge performance for me. I think I should have tried for some more power on the last lap but it was a very good effort regardless.

Nothing.

Considering how far we had to run to get from one side of the transition area to the other I felt I had a good transition time.

Run with the race number as I'm putting it on.

I did the best I could staying cool in that miserable temp.

I need more training and need to stop slacking on the run part of my workouts for the next couple months.

Ate all the food (even the stuff I normally wouldn't eat) that they had to offer.


Lack of training.


They need to get their stuff in gear for post race events...talk about crazy stuff like awards going to the wrong people and all kinds of lame things.

On the positive side they awarded me 1st overall and 1st in my age group for the females... :( to bad I refused to collect.
