Rattlesnake Triathlon - Olympic Course - Triathlon

Pretty sure this course was quite a bit short, I'm not that fast of a swimmer! My Garmin measured .74 miles, for whatever that is worth.

Definiitely losing time on transition. Probably time to look into no socks and whatever other tricks folks are using.

Except for some construction, loved the smooth asphalt surface.

Again, I'm below average on transitions. Proably need to look at the no tie laces, etc.

It was hot with no shade on the course. I struggled a bit, and ran slower than I hope. I went pretty hard on the bike, but didn't think it was hard enough to cause my run to feel as bad as it did.

Probably the heat, I train early morning and don't usually deal with it.


Very good race, except for the short swim I really have nothing at all to complain about. The only bummer for me is I left early to get back home and see the family. I don't know if they did age group awards, but by some fluke turns out I was second in my age group!
