Lake Meridian Triathlon #1 - Sprint Course - Triathlon

Felt pretty good on the swim but probably could have gone faster.

Took too long putting socks on, but have a bad toe and had to wear socks.

I didn't look at anything about the race ahead of time...oops! The course was nearly 16 miles while in my head I thought it was 14 and there were a lot of hills including a huge one where you come around a corner and suddenly *boom* there is the hill. I couldn't get into my lowest gear in time but managed to get up, whereas about 3 people jumped off their bikes right in front of me.

Always push harder. I did try to keep it over 20 when it wasn't an uphill.

I was in a relay so my friend ran the final leg. We got 2nd out of 2 relays. Woo woo. Saw many friends there, gorgeous day!


There were a few things that annoyed me--the guy chatting everyone up before he let us in the parking lot, which was just irritating at 630 AM. Also having to show the USAT number with ID even though we had to enter it online already. And having to undress for body marking while carrying everything into transition. But besides that I enjoyed the race. There's a chance I am just whiny today, too.
