Webster Lake Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

not having swam in quite a while, I actually did as well as I usually do even if I do practice, practice, practice!! so much for all that extra work, I guess that says alot for bad swim practices!!

I started at the back of the pack on the very last wave so I had no aspirations to do anything but finish. (well, I really did want to catch isis on the swim!!)Just swam comfortably and easy. Passed a few folks here and there.
OVerall, I didnt get tired not felt crappy, just enjoyed the time in the water.

t-1 was crappy and I accept that. There was a long walk/.jog from the pond to the racks, my wetsuit got caught on my calves (rain disuaded me from putting on body glide) and generally no rythm to the transition--just get it off and get it done.

This time includes the walk up from the beach and T-1. I know I had a good bike. Roads were wet and slick but the puddles were FUN!!!!! heehee!!

Rain drop hurt going fast!!

had to be wary of cornering and all that with the rain and wet roads.

wear sunglasses to keep rain and mud from eyes.

again, T-2 was not stellar. just get the stuff off and get moving again.

saw isis already out on the run before I got done with the bike. Happy to see her kicking some butt!!

saw ellen out on the bike route. She looked happy and I was sssoo gald to see her back in the groove!!

Met isis heading back in and got a great BT hug!! Saw kathyg and gave her a high 5!! She said 'what are you doing back here?' as I was behind her on route. Kathy, it wasnt that I was 'back there' it was because you were UP THERE!!!! way, way WAY farther ahead in the pack!! woohoo!!!

hung out to greet Bters coming in, got to enjoy a great time hanging with buds after race.


training. drive. competitive ambition. really, just feel the need this year to play without a watch and do the pace the way I feel at the time.


FIRM does an 'ok' race. No signage as to directing the participants to the venue, no mile markers for bike or run leg, very little post race goodies.

overall, it was fun to be able to race on a warm rainy day in june and I have to thank FIRM for the opportunity.
