The Endless Mountains Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

two months off from swim training due to shoulder injury definitely hurt. i couldn't handle the oxygen deprivation. had trouble passing.

next time i'll stay outside. i'll use anti-fog on my goggles. i'll use "pam" on arms and legs.

no problems.

i'll not take so much time. i purposely went slowly in T1 as it was my first tri. i didn't wan't to forget anything.

bike went very well. felt strong and passed several people on hills.

i would like to purchase a tri bike to save my quads and go faster.

felt good and fast.

won't take a towel with me on run.

i didn't have any calf cramping like i previously did. felt extremely strong. the quads cramped unbelievably and had to stop twice. on downhill, hamstrings cramped beyond belief. had to stop two more times.

i will try to purchase a tri bike to save quads. i'm told bananas help with cramping. i guess i could drink more gatorade.

lack of swim training, fogged goggles, mountain bike, cramped muscles.


i know i can finish next year under two hours. this will bring me into the top 100. i had a great time. people were very helpful and supportive. it was a joy to have my wife, two daughters and friends there. many are now inspired to enter in some way next year.
