Bartlett Lake Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

water was warm. didn't wear a wetsuit this year to save time in transition. there is a 150 yd. run uphill in coarse sand to the timing mat (included inn the swim time) did it barefoot this time. last year i wasted time looking for my sandles.was able to draft a little this year and with the exception to some sighting strokes,i was able to freestyle the whole swim.

work on technique base conditioning to keep up in the draft.

i believe this transition is included in the bike time. was very winded from the uphill run and 2 flights of stairs to the transition.

better run indurance

knew what to expect from doing the race the previous year. relentless uphill climb. train on hills or your in for an agonizing day.

leg strength for the hills and better conditioning. same time as last year with very little training this year so i can't be upset.

all in all went pretty smooth

practice getting out of my shoes and running right off the bike. didn't want to try this move for the first time in the race only to end up on youtube eating crap.

have been plagued with plantar this last year needless to say my run suffered severely.just tried to take in the great views. what a beautiful venue

run train, hill repeats

could not leave until the last bike is in from the olympic distance. plenty of time to eat the provided snacks and socialize


my legs:)


don't go in looking for a new p.r. this race is extremely challenging and thats while i'll be back again next year.great staff and volunteers. as a side note reeled a girl in at mile 4, passed and left her turned around screamed back to the transition only to see her dismounting in front of me. i compete to challenge myself and normally can care less but to hear her brag
post race to others about placing in her age group. actually the girl behind you that did the actual distance should have your place.
