Memphis 70.3 - Triathlon

Train for the race, never swam over 1000 meters, work on getting comfortable in the water and getting more water time

Took my time, was a long run to T1 from the swim (.34 miles), just wanted to make sure I was ready for the ride

Not much, could have run a bit more, but just wanted to finish

Course was good, rode my road bike for the comfort. Did not hit my nutrition plan at all, stomach got sour (probably from the Welch chews, too much sugar) Took too much time in the aid stations, because of stomach, but will work on nutrition better next time

More bike time, use the tri bike, and get thru the aid stations. Also my Garmin acted up, so had to fiddle with it.

Took too much time in T2, but wanted to make sure I survived the run

Just add some more speed in T2

Needed to run more than 3 miles or 10 in a week. My walk / run plan was good and have tons of room to improve

Train for this race next time. but proved that I could gut out this race

Training, or lack of. No swim, 50-70 miles a week riding, and 3-7 miles a week running, won't cut it.


Could have had more pizza, but that is what I get for being so late
