RunBiTri Triathlon - Allen - TriathlonSprint

My right arm was numb, so i stopped after 2 laps to take off my watch, thinking it was cutting off someo sort of circulation. I was wrong, and my HRM/watch was dead anyway.. guess it meant waterproof to 50 LINEAR meters..

swim faster. Need to work on that. Oh, and remember to take the gels out of my pocket before I jump in

T1 was actually run to bike. I need to practice my transitions more. I was a bt slow because I was getting fruistrated trying to work my new computer.

Be faster. Dont intall new computer on race day!

See course comments.

Pray harder for no wind. At least it wasnt a dust bowl like the day before!

I dont see that onyone had a t2 time, I think it was included with the bike segment.

be able to get oof my bike faster and out of my bike shoes faster. Consideering shoes with clip closure instead of velcro, which is not nice to cold hands.

Started with my TZ sweatshirt and finished with it halfway off, hanging around my neck. Kept the buff on for the bike, because i knew the wind would kill. Annette and I jsut kept remarking that even thought we knew we were faster than our normal pace, it was "only 3 miles, not 13 like last weekend". I was only 45 sec off my pr, so with no pacing because there were no progress indicators, I think that was good. Plus, I was having shin splints to no end. TG it was cold or they would have crippled me.

Run faster, I guess. Bought new shoes after the half last weekend so I wouldnt have shin splints..

Had a taco and a shower and used my roller thingy to stratch my plantar fascia so the abll of my foor wouldnt hurt later. It worked. Now my heel hurts!
Then we watched the awards and to my surprise, signing up in th fat lady category paid off! I woul dhav ebeen 7th in my AG, but got 2nd in Athena. Anything for hardware, right?


Shin Spints and the freaking wind. Oh, and my inability to swim faster.


We needed mile markers on the run, but other than that the race itself was good.
