Chain of Lakes Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Exactly the same swim time as last year. I think Dave Knack did a nice job of pulling me through. He did lose me at about the 450 yd mark.

Nothing, I am quite happy with the swim performance.

Decent transition. Almost forgot that the helmet goes on first.

Nothing

I felt really strong on the bike. The wind wasn't as bad as it was earlier in the day. The rain felt like little icicles and really stung the skin.

This was dang near 2:00 better than last year's time. I hope the improvement continues.

Actual bike distance was about 12.35 and actual bike speed would have been 22.7.

Nothing

Things were just wet! I lost my bike when I was entering the transition area and had to go back and pick it up. My running shoes were soaked

Cover my shoes.

I, as did many I talked to, had a side stitch that I could not get rid of. I am sure that this affected my time as I notice that my AHR was a bit lower than normal.

I did almost a minute worse on the run than last year.

Actual run distance was close to 2.8 which gives me a 7:09 pace.

This is my area to work on!

There was no warm down. We were downright cold! The shower helped, but it took a good hour to warm up


My side stitch on the run really slowed me down. Had I run as well as last year, I might have placed 6th overall... but I didn't.


I really like this race and look forward to it every year
