Beat the Heat Sprint Tri - Triathlon

Well that was about the worst I could have done, my legs were shot from the bike and the run and I could notice my legs sinking really bad it was a fight for the whole swim. I knew I wasn't going to improve my placing or get caught by anyone behind me so I really lost focus and swam very poorly.

Keep pushing even if I can't improve my placing I can still push myself to have a good swim.

Being a revese again this was a run to bike really it was a good transition, I passed two people while in transition.

nothing.

I had a good bike leg. With the exception of the first 3/4 miles I got stuck behind someone in a vehicle that was really lost and I could not get around them. I also noticed at about mile 2 I was in the small chain ring, which was a mistake. This race is in a very rural community and I also got crop dusted, literally sprayed with pesticide by an airplane, fortunatly I saw it coming and was able to protect my water bottles and rinse the taste out of my mouth. I made the turn at exactly a 20 MPH average and finished at 21.23 MPH so I made quite a bit back.

Stzrt in the right ring and just go around the car. Can't do much about the crop duster so oh well.

Can't really do any better except getting my feet out of the shoes faster.

I had a good run but started to slow down at the end. I'm going to try to not go out as hard as I did next time, but it's hard when your racing. I wanted to negative split this run but didn't have it in me in the second half but I only lost about :05 seconds per mile average.

Don't let the race get to me and run my race.

Played with Tucker who was waiting for me to get out of the pool, had a bananna, some oranges and some electrolytes, and waited for the awards. I ended up with a big container or recoverite so that was good.


Swimming, I have to get better and faster but I was gassed by the end of the bike.


Not a bad race but it could have been better.
