Titanium Man Triathlon - Triathlon

Started 2 mins late! By my watch, we still had 5 mins to go so we werent in much a hurry, all of the sudden, horn goes off and......Holy Crap! Hurry Hurry!!!

Leave home earlier~

Tried to just stay calm, walk quickly to bike and do what I always do.

Not much

This was my longest ride of the year! Long work hours and NO training made me re evaluate my effort. I tried to ride as easy as I could. I had injurted my back earlier in the week and wasn't even sure I could ride but it went pretty well. Not in a hurry and had a good ride.

Train more

Bike catchers rock!! A nice young man took my bike and a nice young woman handed me my run bag and took it away when I was done. All I had to do was get stuff off and on and I was done.

not much

I knew this was going to be tough and slow going. Long work hours and not enough sleep had me really tired going in. I just ran and far as I could, about a mile and did run/walk after that. At the end, I was walking 100 steps and running 200. Pretty much had nothing left at the end. My favorite training partner and nice sister brought me a bottle of cold water about 1/2 mi from finish, sorely needed.

Get some rest before the race!

walk around and drink some water


not enough training, back injury


I really like this race. Downstream swim makes me feel fast. Bike course is just hard enough and run is always hot. Entry is really inexpensive and volunteers are great. This year, the traffic control was great and I didn't get lost for the first time!
They did run out of water, I think I got the last bottle when finished but they found some more fairly quickly. Post race activities are pretty non existent but the price is right. I'm planning to go back next year!!
