Jack's Generic Triathlon - Triathlon

first 200m or so felt great. When I looked around I was in front pack but my right goggle filled up with water and my left one began to fog, I had to stop a few times to sight better due to this, so lost a little time. Feel I could hit 1:35 pacing

make sure goggles are tight, or try different brand

Since my bike was only about 20 m from start line, i went with shoes off. Worked great. I kind of didn't rush, could of shaved off 15-20 seconds.

I felt really good on the bike today. The rookie tri uses basically the same course and I struggled on the backside then. Not this time, the hills never really bothered my and felt strong the whole ride. I definately left some in the tank. I could have gone a little faster i think. REALLY happy with my bike time.

nothing, felt good

I went right past my bike rack, since i was so close to bike exit/entrance. Then I couldn't get my # belt on, probably lost around 30 seconds here.

I always have difficulty with my # belt. I just need to remember to put it on with attachment in front vs trying to attach with my arms behind my back

First mile or so I didn't have my stride. Once i found it i had a really nice pace. I was shooting for a 6:45 avg on the run, fell a little short, feel the first 1 mile or so hurt this. I never felt like i was tired though, just my legs took 5 minutes or so to get under me.

On a side note right before the turn around my # belt came undone, I had to slow down and work it back into the buckle system. Never stopped but had to slow my pace.

Walked around a little and just hung out. Saw Dennis (dgunthert) and Jim (jkron). Also hung out with Todde (jwithyco) who did race since one of his buddies broke his collar bone just the weekend before the race


Overall, happy with race. bike was awesome for me. I could have pushed bike a little harder and pushed run a little harder. In the long run 1:12 is awesome for my. My goal was 1:15 from my coach (he won the race by the way). I've yet had a open water swim match my pool swim, practice.


Jack and Adams puts on an awesome race. Burgers, prices, beer, icecream, you name it, they have it. This is a definate must for anyone to try out. Plus it seems to get alot of the local Pro's out.
