St Peter's Rex Plex Fall Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

Jumped in and it seemed like forever watching the clock tick. Do more flip turns. Who cares if you are in a pool with loads of others. My time would have been so much better.

I would not have slowed down to pass others. Next time, I'm flying by them.

I wasted too much time with my top. I wore my cycling top. Only because I had a few bars in the back. Next time, it's the tri top. No futzing round! Also, no socks. Why waste time drying my feet and putting on socks when I could just jump on the bike with my cycling shoes. Need to practice with the rubber bands.

Sans socks and top!!

On the last few miles, I felt my right calve tense up. I stopped peddleing to try and stretch it out. I thought it was okay. I'll tell you more about it on the run.

86 the socks and cycling top. Oh, did I arlready mention that? That part of the T1 still pisses me off. I would drink more fluids and take in as many electrolites as I can.

My T2 was nice and easy. I still for some reason get a little nervous comming into the T2. I don't want to come flying into the transition area. I heard a few volunteer yell at some people for not getting off their bikes when they should. At leas I have yet to fall. I say a young woman to that as she was trying to get out of her pedals.

Try and take feet out of shoes and drop into a lower gear so I can spin faster to get ready for the run.

I couldn' t drink any of the water they handed out. My throat didn't want to swallow. It wasn't 60 yards and my right leg decided it was going to throw a monkey in my wrench!!! I walked for five steps, stretched and deicided I'll show my calve who's boss!! Five minutes later, I was in no pain and had a good pace going!!

Electrolytes...

Stretched, and walked around. Eat everything. Those burritos RULED!!!


Not riding and running enough. I don't think I was hydrated enough.


I didn't stay for the after race events. I had plans of going home, showering and run off the Wentzville to harpon a deer.
