Tri the Swamp Rabbit at Furman - Triathlon

I wish I could've gone a little harder, but I was pretty sandwiched. Still not a fast swimmer, but there also wasn't much advantage to going too hard in this race. The swim just wasn't going to add up to much of a time difference.

I was surprised to come out of the pool and find it raining.

I really wanted a 20 mph, and I hit it, so I'm thrilled with my performance. I focused and went hard; this was definitely my best bike performance in a race so far.

As always, I probably could've gone harder, but it's hard to know how much to hold back since that run is always looming.

I lost time here compared to everyone else, and it has to be the fact that I'm probably the only one putting on socks. I have to start practicing not wearing them on shorter runs.

During the race, nothing, but I'll start doing a little training without socks. I just REALLY don't want blisters.

I just tried to push hard and accept that it was going to hurt. I'm happy with my time, and the fact that I had plenty left in the tank after the race. My performance on this course is so much better than last year, pretty thrilled.

I got some ART, and ate some pizza and fruit.


Not much, but if it's anything, it's me still figuring out how hard I can go and still have enough to finish the race.


This is a great race. The course is really nice, and the venue is great. There weren't a ton of volunteers today, but I understood because the weather so pretty crummy. It didn't affect my race at all.
