City of Lakes Triathlon - Olympic Course - Triathlon

I obviously just suck at swimming....next

Hire a swim coach

The goat heads were bad in the transition area so you pretty much had to carry your bike to the street. Other than that - pretty smooth

This course is a bit deceiving when looking at the pre-race profile. The road surface is great but it has some good climbs but some GREAT downhills for making up speed. Finished with 889 ft of elevation gain. That is not bad for a 26mi ride.

When I came out of the water, I was waaayyy behind everyone. I was able to pass a bunch throughout the course and maintain a consistent speed. This is really a fun course because of the downhills and the speed you can maintain.

It was hot out and I drank both bottles I had just before the finish. Had some Chomps on the ride.

As I always say - I need to train on more hills

Quick turn - grabbed a water bottle that I later realized was warm....Yummy!

I felt terrible starting the run. It was hot, I was drinking warm Gatorade, and I was praying for an aid station. That station finally came by on the first major turn. I was able to hydrate and put some water in my bottle.

When I got to Riley rd, I could see the people finishing and I think that motivated me to press a little harder. You run two loops for the Oly. There is an aid station you will pass.....four times. That was a big help.

After finishing my final loop, all the runners have to go up a dirt road and back to the finish line. Felt good but tired finishing.

Need to run more bricks

Got some water and went and jumped into the blue hole diving area. Water was cold but it felt perfect. Great idea Jeremy!


ummm.....I suck at swimming


This is good race and the only Olympic distance race in the state this year. The race did start about 15min late but no biggie.

Andie with Fit Fund runs an awesome race and invest a ton of effort to ensure it goes smooth. Good Job Andie!
