The Sharon Triathlon - Triathlon

Glad I got through this okay, since I've really been slacking off this summer and have barely gone swimming at all. Sighting seemed fine too. I tended to be a bit wide, but with a counterclockwise course, that was expected since I tend to pull to the left. Never felt that I was drastically veering off course though.

This wasn't too far off from what I expected. I'm always slow even when I'm in shape. The fact that I was in the bottom 20% and not the bottom 10% was actually not too bad for me!

This went well. I had good placement for racking, so I wouldn't have expected it to take too long...

Since I knew my run would be slow due to lack of training, I figured I'd gun it on the bike for fun since it was a pretty flat course. I've been slacking on biking lately too, but was able to pull down a pretty decent pace regardless.

I liked this course, and plan to sign up again next year to see if I can break 20 mph if I were to actually train for it. Given my current fitness level though, I was happy with this result. Also, not to be picky, but the AUTOCALC keeps listing my pace as 18.6, but it actually calculates to 18.9...

Nothing notable here really....

I didn't want to make myself miserable with my lack of training, so I just took the run at a relatively comfortable pace. I did have some issues with chaffing, my shoe on the right foot and my time chip on my left ankle that was getting uncomfortable by the end.

I'd like to come back and do this course again. The run was pretty flat, so if I were in better shape, I'm curious what kind of pace I could have pulled down. Also, as with the bike, AUTOCALC is not entirely calculating my pace correctly, as it should have been 9:11...

Just hung out with Mike and chatted by the lake. It was a nice day out!


Lack of training. My logs are completely up to date, and it's pretty obvious they're sorely lacking. I have a HIM planned for next year, but I've clearly decided to make this year a slacker one.


I like Max Performace races a lot and usually do three a year. They're very organized and I feel like they really care about everyone's safety, which is nice!
