Music City Triathlon - Intermediate Course - Triathlon

Fantastic swim. I didn';t know what to expect with the current, and having to swim against it for awhle. I told myself just to go nice and smoothly, since I swam twice this week, and hadn't been in the water in 6 weeks otherwise. Sighted well, didn't choke a single time, navigated great, hit the buoys even swimming cross-current. Had to stop twice and clean out goggles, even, otherwise would have been sub 21. I was hoping for a sub 24min swim. I can't believe how well this went

NOTHING

No real difficutly. Long run up from the water, Wetsuit stuck a little but nothing too bad. Cost me maybe 8 seconds

I was pretty pleased with the ride. Going out hte first loop I was scared, becasue I didn't know the course at all. The first 4 miles was all uphill and into the wind. Went out in 24 min, but flew back in at 16 min. I knew I could push it a bit more going out for the second loop and recover on the downhill coming in. Kept it nice and steady, and was pretty pleased with the over all performance.

Went pretty well. , except I went to put on my running shoe and a damn sneaker ball was shoved down in the toe. I had pulled one out of it prior to the race, but apparaently missed one. Cost me a couple of seconds fishing it out, but nothing too bad.

Good run, and a good 3 min faster than expected. The hills were tough, especially the bridge crossing right out of transition. I went out slowly, and was surprised with how the first lap felt - pretty good. I didn't really try and pick it up until the last mile. Felt really good, and was really pleased with the run

nothing. Definitely needed to start out easily on the bridge.

ate a piece of pizza, drove back to Franklin, and met the fam for lunch

Fantastic race. I still don't understnad why the sprint distance started before the Olympic distance. Luckily, the weather was great, so it wasn't too hot, like it has been in yrs past. The river current wasn't bad, and the cool weather meant wetsuits were legal. The bike was a bit windy, but not too bad. I enjoyed the run thru downtown, too, even with all of the hills. Lots of volunteers. I'll do this one again.
