Pinehurst Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

I felt like I had a good swim, I really tried to push it being that this was the last race and I had nothing to loose. Sighted well, caught a lot of the earlier waves and overall felt good about the swim. For a few seconds I actually had the delusion of being first, then I saw that the other green caps were just farther in front.

Not much, swim faster I guess.

I was kinda figuring on a slow transition, it was cold and I was determined not to freeze on the bike. I dried off a little and put on socks and a jacket, which I would not normally do. Glad I did.

Nothing

I kept hearing this strange whining sound as I was riding, Oh, it was just me! I coulda sworn I had flat tires, my brake was rubbing, etc. I suck on the bike, got passed by a lot of people, quite depressing.I got to see Jeff out there toward the end, that was cool.

I need to ride more, I knew going into this race it was going to hurt but that's no excuse. I think my bike time was 6 minutes slower than last year.

Nothing spectacular.

Ran out of T2 with Jeff, my goal for this year was to not walk at all on the hills, something I have had to do the last 2 years. I think the cool weather helped, I felt good the whole run, not the fastest but overall happy with it.

Pick up the pace

Met my wife at the finish, yeah for the cowbell!
I was freezing again so put on everything I could find


The bike was and is my weakest link, the run I can deal with.


Ran into Jeff and Wakeman at the finish, I'm sorry I missed everyone else. I saw the BT sign as we were walking back to the car, nice job 1 Foot, sorry I missed it at the end of the run. I was bummed that I was slower this year and I kinda knew I missed out on getting into the invitational, I was 21st going into this race and would have had to pull out a great race to get in. Next year.
