SPC Cotton Country Sprint - TriathlonSprint

Since this was a reverse triathlon this was my last section, and I was really surprised at my how much my ability has improved in over the last six months. Before getting in the water I had really been pushing myself, and starting out I felt that I had a lot left in me.

I would learn how to get around people better. My first 100 was slowed down because a guy was in front of me and I couldn't get around him.

This was actually my transition from run to bike, and I was very happy at my decreased time in transition.

Nothing

I knew that going out I would be in a headwind, but when I got out of the neighborhoods and turned South I remembered what a true headwind was. The gusts were probably 25-35mph, and I was really happy that I was averaging 12-15mph. Then after making the turnaround I was able to sustain 26-30mph. Even with wind that is the fastest that I have sustained for a long period of time. It felt great!!!

Nothing!

This was actually the transition from bike to swim, and I was very happy with my turnaround time.

Nothing!

I was really nervous about this part since I have been nursing a foot injury for a while and not to mention all of my allergies for the last month. I started off pacing myself with my neighbor (who was racing too) and neither of us really intended to run the whole thing, but we just kept it steady and finished. It really felt great. Especially, after finding out that we had ran farther than either of us had before.

Pay attention to the street markings and not be a follower.

Walked around talking with folks and drinking water. Couldn't find anyoner with beer. Damn health nuts!!!


Nothing I had fun and went as fast as I could.


This ws a very fun race and it was really nice to get the run out of the way at the first. I will definetly keep this on my list of races for next year.
