Bowling Green Sprint Triathlon - Triathlon

Not a good swim for me but fun and funny. Greg G. started right behind me and caught up within two laps. We swam side by side one lap and I let him take the lead so I could draft (why not). It was so easy and every stroke I kept hitting him. It took a lot of will power to stay put and just draft because I felt he was going slow. But I knew at masters practice we swim the same pace. Little did I know he lost his goggles at the turn and was slowing down. If I hit his feet once, I hit them 100 times. You should hear his side of this story and how I kept climbing up his back side.

Next year Greg and I should practice and plan on drafting. We could take turns and probably nail this swim. I was somewhat disappointed because I have been doing 400's at practice with a time of 5:30 to 6:00. So really thought I would complete this around 6:15.

Greg got out of transition faster than I did. He sprinted to the transition while I jogged.

Try to rack my bike on an end site. I had to deal with bike being tangled when unracked bike.

Bike felt really good especially since it was a challenging hilly course. Had Greg in front of me as a rabbit so I tried to catch up or gain on him. Unfortunately got stuck in car traffic going up a hill and he was in front of the car, we were passing a couple of bikes and the car got behind a slow hill climber. Finally caught back up at the end. This may have been to my advantage because it was the hardest hill climb and I was still feeling good on the end of the ride climbs. Caught and passed a lot of riders at the end.
Passed a lot of folks on the bike because it is a hilly course and I like to climb hills.

Nothing

Again, struggled with the left foot into my running shoe.

Need new elastic shoe laces and practice the shoe thing more

Felt great. Knew my training crew started behind me and were trying to run me down because they are all faster runners. No One caught me. Paul was telling me to "run the tangets". He knew they were trying to catch me because they kept asking people we know "how far is Kay in front of me".
