Dickson Endurance Triathlon - Triathlon

Very disappointed in the swim. I was planning on a 23 min swim. Couldn’t swim straight at all, was zigzagging all over the place. Never got in a rhythm or felt comfortable. Was 5 min slower than when I did this race 5 yrs ago. Everyone’s times were a bit slower than that year, but I was very disappointed with the time

Open water WIC practice

Long run/walk up a very steep hill. Didn’t try to run it all, but passed a couple of people power walking up. Suit got stuck on my heels. Was 40 sec slower than last time.

Good ride. Kept it comfortably hard the whole way. Stayed aero for the vast majority of the time. Normalized power was 210W. Was 4min faster than last time, and I felt good the whole way

Nothing

Went fine

Run we not well. Walked a bit of most of the uphills, but never for too long. Ran all of the rest, though. Overall, felt pretty good with it and had a couple of more miles in me if I had needed it. I was only 55 sec slower than last time, soI was pretty pleased given how little I’ve been running. The cool temps really helped.

Nothign

Walked around for v5 min, got a bAnana, changed clothes, and got in the car to drive home.


Swim navigation was terrible. Otherwise, I was pretty pleased with how everything else went.


Another Endurance Sports Managament race. Another race that started late. Course was well marked. On the run course, though, there were 2 unmanned aid stations that were passed twice apiece. Miles 2/8, and 3/6. On my way out, both had plenty of water cups/gels out on the tables. On the way back, though, at Mile 6, there was no water nor gels. At 8, there were a few gels scattered on the table, and some cups that you could fill yourself. It would’ve been nice to have a person at each table filling up cups. The other stops were fully manned.
