Athens YMCA Triathlon - Triathlon

Not sure - not feel like crap?

Didn't feel like a very fast transition, but it was the fastest in my age group, so I guess I did something right. I suppose I'm just hell-bent on keeping my swimming lead most of the time :) Cause I know everyone's comin to get me!

Overall, satisfactory ride, but a lot of improvement can be made on the bike. That's good!

Be stronger :)

Overall good, I guess.

Not that it really cost me a lot of time, but it would help to turn on my footpod BEFORE the race starts. The wasted battery life is probably worth it so I don't have to make it part of my T2.

Great job of holding pace. I'm stunned at the pace I held dispite never having done a brick yet this year (slap on wrist). I really focused on a quick, short cadence right off the bat to make sure I didn't fall into a slow slump. It worked really well as I was able to get stronger and recover from the bike. I definitely went through quite a few waves of energy/no energy, though.

Nothing, really.

Brisk walk, lots of water, and a baked potato... loaded with bacon and cheese - since when you do a triathlon, you can eat whatever you want :)


Haven't gotten a full base in yet - especially for cycling. I should swim more so that I can overcome a crappy sluggish feeling and go faster regardless with less energy expenditure.


Honestly, for it being the 22nd year of this race's existence, both my boyfriend and I were surprised at how "thrown together" it seemed. In a few spots along the course there could DEFINITELY have been more volunteers to help guide the way. I guess overall it was a successful event, and that's really all you can ask. The only reason we started late was due to fog outside that would have limited visibility on the bike course, so that's no fault of any of the race organizers.
