USAT Grand Prix Mideast Championships - TriathlonOlympic

First open water swim. Took awhile to get used to the feel of it. First two thirds was a bit anxious but got into my groove for the final third.

Ran in shoes b/c still not entirely comfortable with putting them on while on the bike.

More practice.

Forgot to take gel and fast acting inhaler. Duh.

Pull it together a little better.

Had to take a gel in transition and use fast acting inhaler since I forgot it on the ride.

Pull it together a little better.

Uphill it was difficult to get air . . . ended up walking the uphills. Felt great and kicked it pretty well on the straights and downhill.

Consumed beer.


Learning curve stuff and dealing with my ex induced asthma.


Hard to be too enthusiastic or tough b/c it's my first oly. distance.
