Jax Tri Series #1 - Triathlon

Remained careful, but everything was actually pretty smooth. Didn't really get kicked or pushed around except turning the first buoy. Just focused on long, smooth strokes & not burning too much energy. Was even able to bilateral breathe it was so calm!

Nothing.

Was slow and careful getting stuff together to make sure I didn't forget anything.

Just be a little more speedy. Now that I have done it I can go a bit more confidently next time.

Made sure heart rate didn't go over 155. I had specific goals relating to the run & want to make sure had enough energy to do it.
There was one 36-year-old woman that I kept leap-frogging with during the ride which helped keep it interesting. She's not in my age group anyway so I don't care (LOL)!

Next time I might be a little more aggressive.

Careful movements, made sure the rest of the sand was off my feet before putting on socks.

A bit faster, but was deliberately tentative today.

This was my big goal; to be able to jog the whole run segment without having to stop & walk. I had a lot of physical therapy on my feet and legs this year to try to reduce the pain from my R foot joint replacement, L foot plantar fasciitis & L hamstring issues.

Now that I know I can do it maybe I can go a bit stronger next time.

Went back into the ocean to swim gently & let my muscles relax. Also did some walking & stretching.


Staying conservative for that run goal. Still had some pain after but nothing intolerable.


Could've had more volunteers on the bike course at the intersections where where were roundabouts. Car traffic was not blocked for the race & the cars didn't always know when they were able to go between the bikers.
