Kemah Triathlon - Olympic Course - Triathlon

Out of all the age groupers, I was the 10th off the boat. I knew tons of people would pass me, but I didn't want to have to swim over anyone. As soon as I took my first breath to sight, I knew I ran into a huge problem. The person who zipped up my wetsuit did something wrong. The velcro rubbed on the nape of my neck with every breath. This is gonna hurt...

Beside that issue, the swim was choppy and my sighting was poor. I swam every which way but straight. So glad to be done with the swim!

Wore a sleeveless wetsuit.

My suit got caught on my garmin, so I needed extra help. The run to transition was longer than most races which is never fun but not too bad.

walked and got jack up my heart rate.

This was the most challenging ride ever. Maybe I'm weak, maybe I'm out of shape. Either way, it was the most challenging for me. There was a point when I was going 8mph up a hill. Yes, I was still on my bike at this time. Luckily, the tailwind was amazing coming back into town. I charged 19mph going up that same hill. Needless to say, the wind got the best of me.

Got in, got out. Nothing much to say here.

According to my time, I didn't do good. According to me, I ran the better than I have in a long time. The last two miles got the best of me and I walked a bit.

I sat, I ate, I drank.


I"ll be back next year!
