Caveman Triathlon - Triathlon

I had starting number 33. I still ran over 2 groups of people and ended up combat swimming over and around them. I put down I was going to do a 3:20 time. ARg!

Nothing- it's so short.

So happy with the transitions. I jogged through instead of walking. I beat out the guy that was behind me both times. They put the whole transition area in the parking lot that flooded. When we got out there everything was in mud and puddles.

Keep practicing, think about running faster through the transition. I'm liking the improvements and I finally feel like I know what I'm doing. It's become more routine.

The weather played a major role here. The rain was hard and it stung. The lightning and thunder was intermittent. Really glad to be done.

I did the best I could today.

Again it was so wet. Took time on the dismount. My hat was full of mud when I plopped it on my head. Somewhere around here I lost my favorite sunglasses that were in my back pocket. I'm very happy with the time. I don't feel like I gave up the race in the transitions this year.

Not put my hat on!

I almost cried when I saw the results. I felt like I was running the hardest 32 minute 5k of my life. My feet were so heavy and soggy. there was a mud section, a river section and a swimming section. I think every lightning strike made me pick up my pace.

Not a damn thing! As bad as my run is compared to everyone else I'm pleased with this result. This represents big improvements for me.

walked along the course cheering for my fellow team mates and competitors.


Weather and weight. I can't do anything about the weather but I can put down the pizza and blue bell for a while.


Even with the weather event this is 1 of my favorite races. After racing through the Playtri races I really appreciate the DAR events. They are more organized. I felt informed every step of the weather delay. I will absolutely do every DAR race I can, TexasMan here I come!
