Rattlesnake Olympic Triathlon - Triathlon

Was swimming well and then I ran on the beach to run and dive back in and my goggles came down on my face. Damnit. Fixed, which is hard while just kicking and then back out to finish. The swim was real good though, I felt smooth and navigated much better today. Got out of the water and went to the wetsuit strippers.

Not dive like a dork. Adam was cracking up at my child like dive.

Second fastest T1. Damn, someone beat me by a second. Oh well, it was still good. Same as yesterday's time.

Nothing

I felt very sluggish due to the hard effort yesterday. I really had to stay focused and spin alot today. My legs had nothing in them. A guy caught me right after the turn around and I picked it up with every thing I had and dropped him. I guess I had something. Pushed hard and just tried to keep the cadence up. The headwind on the way back was very tough. It made me slow down a bit. Many more hills today than yesterday. Decent effort and I was not passed.

Nothing

Much better T2 today. I had the fastest time overall and was able to do the flying dismount toady since I remembered.

This killed me. I was just hangin on. The first part of the run was tough but I kept it easy. Picked it up through the middle miles and thought my legs were going to give out at mile 4. Luckly people were cheering me on and I just kept thinking about my candence and keeping it as fast as I could. Was trying to catch a guy that was ahead of me the sme distance the entire race. Never caught him. Had 2 guys pass me. Both were flying. I ended up beating them both because they started so far ahead of me on the TT start. That was cool. I finished with everything I had and was pleased with the result.

Nothing

Beers, food, gatorade, talking with friends.


Racing the day before and doing a 1/2 ironman last Sunday.


Today's race was better than yesterday's because it was more organized and events were on time. + the weather was better. I was 3rd in my age group and 8th overall. I am happy with 2 podiums on back to back days of racing. It was nice to see Adam,Yvonne, Jen and Matt. Thanks for coming out to support! I am very tired and had a great time. I won another pocket knife! Now I have 2 of the smame kind. They did give out cool hat and I got a Sweat shirt and belt buckle for doing the back to back.
