Summer Roundup Triathlon - Olympic Course - Triathlon

Swim was a bit rough at the beginning with a higher than expected amount of contact with other athletes. Finally started to get into clear water after rounding 1st bouy and get into a rhythm. Stayed relaxed and was able to sight bouys without too much difficulty, although I had to keep readjusting my course.

Sight more often. Seemed I kept zig zagging in the water to stay on course. Swim time much slower than expected. Need more open water swim practice to work it out.

Felt slow, trouble getting my helmet fastened, but stayed calm.

Flat and fast course. Stayed in the big chain ring the whole time and tucked into aero for about 95% of the ride. A few rough patches in the road

Felt good off the bike, legs strong.

Felt good off the bike. Plan was to not go out too hard on first 5K then, pick it up. Did not run with gps watch and had my regular watch running with total time only, no splits. Wish I would have had a split time for the run to guage how hard to go on second lap.

Pay closer attention to my run splits and effort.

Nice massage post race.


Swim was definitely disappointing for me. Not sure why my time was slower than usual.


Good local race that is very organized with an experienced RD. Swim is on private property at a person's residence in small lake/glorified pond. Bike is flat and fast on county roads with a few rough patches. Run is all on gravel road.
