St. Anthony's Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

For some reason I panicked at the start. Maybe it was the waves or the tightness of the wetsuit. I could not catch my breath. This was a distance I could do easily OWS previously,but not this day.

Not wear a wetsuit for this event....train more OWS

T1 was a LONG distance from the adjusted swim course. Felt like a half mile. Ran easily with my wetsuit down to my waist and barefoot. Saw a lot of people struggle to get through the swim and into t1.

Shoes in clips with rubber bands rather than putting them on and running with them.

Slower by 1 mph over the distance of the course from last year. Seemed like there was more head wind this year...hard to get to a pace I am used to.

push a little harder on the bike, but careful to leave something for the run.

Not a bad t2. Took my time a little to get a drink. Not really concerned about being too quick. Said hello to my family on the way out. Felt pretty good at this point.

No socks...drink/eat in last miles of bike to save time.

I lost it midway through the run. Not enough training? Not enough fluids? need to get more fit? Yes Yes and Yes. Ran through mile 3, then did lots of walking/running. Dissapointed that I stopped.

More endurance training. More fluids. Work on taking off some weight.

Ice Towels (great gift at the end). Sat for a little. Ate a poptart of all things. Drank some water. Walked around a bit.


Fitness level. Heat. Weight.


Goals for next year...Swim better. Better effort on the bike (20+ mph), run through the whole 10k.
