Jefferson Heritage Triathlon 2006 - Triathlon

I think this swim course was long based on the fact that I freestyled the whole 800m and was slower than the 800m swim at Metroplex a month earlier, which I swam a lot of on my back and breaststroke.

Sight better.

The day before the race, I did a 35 mile ride that ended up a little harder than I thought it would be. It was a new course, and I didn't know it was as hilly as it was. This race was a long training day in prep for the Oly in Alaska, so I wasn't too bummed about my performance.

Go lighter the previous day, or take it completely off.

I had to walk up the hill coming out of transition because my knees were hurting.

Since this race was just a long training day and my knees were a wreck, I didn't really care how I performed on this run. I just wanted to finish without hurting too bad.

Nothing considering the purpose of the race.

Milled around and ate a banana and an orange, and drank some water and gatorade. They had a pasta meal after the race that was great!


It was just a training day, so I didn't go too hard. Plus I had a longish ride the day before.


This was a fun, and pretty challenging race. They had a pasta dinner the night before and after the race that was fantastic! I'll definitely do this race again!
