Longleaf Triathlon - International Distance - TriathlonOlympic

My goggles kept fogging up. I need to find some anti-fog. My goal time was 40 min.

Get goggle anti-fog. Train a little more to drop to 35 mins or under.

I had a pretty good transition. The transition is just under 1/4 mile from the lake so be prepared.

nothing.

Pretty fast bike. Flat course. It felt great but I pushed too hard and screwed myself over on the run. Bike is a 37K.

Don't go as fast because I didn't save enough for the run.

Fastest transition I have had. Practice pays off.

Nothing.

I bonked on the run. I pushed to ohard on the bike and didn't leave enough in the tank for the run. I wanted to do a 10min mile but all I could muster was an 11min mile. The course is out in the open so bring sunscrean and a visor. Make sure to drink at the water stations. They had water at around every mile. I had practiced many bricks an knew my magic number on the bike was 19mph average. I didn't follow my plan and screwed up my run. Goal time was under 3:10 and I beat that by 9 minutes, I consider that a success. My original Olympic pr is 3:26 so I am very happy (even though it was a 37K bike).

Going to try some Hammer Anti-fatigue caps. Don't push as hard on the bike.

Going too fast on the bike made my run slow. I want to try some anti-fatigue caps the reduce the acid build up in my legs.


Great race setup. I like the time trial start but would prefer it going by age group so you know who to pace with. After race events were nothing spectacular but for the amount of people that races, I feel they had just enough. I couldn't stay for awards because of a family illness and got 3rd place in my age group. I got a prize but I think you have to send them $10 in order for them to send it to them.
