Title 9 Women Only Sprint Triathlon - Triathlon

I have done virtually zero swim training all year, so the goal was just to slog through this and get it over with. I'm convinced this course is a bit longer than advertized.

I'll likely put in some training before I do this course again, but otherwise not much. I'm generally pretty slow regardless...

This went fine. Mike said he tried to walk over from the swim to catch me before I left on the bike, but I was already gone. Speedy! :)

Nothing, this went fine.

Not too shabby, but considering I had the fastest time overall when I did this race two years ago, my lack of training this year was evident. I didn't mind that much though since I knew I wasn't in top shape so I just tried to have fun. Got hung up behind some cars for a bit, which was kind of annoying...

Train more! My rides have been pretty few and far between lately.

This went fine. I was happy to see that no one had dumped anything in the bike racks, which seems to happen a lot with the setup they have at this race.

Nothing.

While I've started getting back my running, I'm not nearly back to where I've been the past couple of years. Regardless, this actually went better than I'd expected, so that was nice. Hopefully I can come back and nail it next year!

Like the bike, train more. This has been a lazy year for me.

Not much, just hung out with Mike for a bit, then packed up and headed out.


I've been completely lazy for the past 12 months since my IM. I just hired a coach and am hoping that this time next year I'll have gotten my motivation back and will regain my previous fitness. Losing the 5-10 lbs. I've gained in the last year wouldn't hurt either!


This is a great race. It's kine of fun to race against just other women. It does attract a lot of beginners though too, which is great, but I think artificially bumps up my placement. Overall though, it's a fun atmosphere and I plan to do it again next year!
