Salty Dog Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Liked the pool swim. Very calming being in clear water as opposed to the lake.

Push harder

Hard run from swim - Inspired to sprint out of water by watching first few athletes out of the water

Spent the entire bike "running" from ott & kpallen trying to make sure they weren't going to track me down. So much so that I almost slid out on the first hard turn.

Train on a flat course to get used to maximum effort on a flat course for 10 miles

Felt great about t2. Dismounted fast and ran hard with bike

Chased CJones the entire second half of the run. Need to be more aggresive on the sprint distance run and not be so concerned with running out of gas

run harder. try to get closer to the 7 minute pace.

Had a great time cheering in the rest of our group at the finish line, some of which were first timers and fulfilling a dream by completing the race. It was awesome to share their sense of accomplishment!!


Smim - not enough effort
Bike - I'm slow
Run - too much energy conserving


When I first got invited to this race I thought "3 hour drive for a pool swim tri? Why?" But I had a blast and really enjoyed the fellowship with my new group of friends. As hard as we raced there was still a whole group of guys faster than us taking all of the hardware. It was a reminder that this sport is about so much more than just trying to make "top 3"
Considering that I burned out on this sport in 2003 I'm trying to remind myself to enjoy the ride of all of the training and racing as opposed to getting mad that I didn't run the race 45 seconds faster than I did.
