Virginia Run Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Okay swim. started good, felt okay, pool got *really* congested. spent the last 75-100m stuck behind a ton of people.

I could've swum faster but honestly I don't think it would've made a difference given the pool congestion. I went as fast as I could given the circumstances.

Good transition. a little slow due to digging out a shirt (so cold!) but went well.

lay out a shirt just in case I want it.

easy course. when on the main road people weren't good about keeping to the right so it was a bit annoying to pass them--sometimes I had to go around the cones into the car lane (scary!) but I always made sure there were no cars first. Lots of passing on my part, these "hills" are so easy!! :)

felt good about the run. I actually sped up after about 1/3-1/2 way through. Was enjoying myself and the warmth from the run & sun. Took until mile 2 before I could feel my feet from the cold.

Not sure. more bricks are always good, but I was going pretty much as fast as I could given the lack of feeling in my feet & toes.

Walking around, had a water & banana & 1/4 peanut butter sandwich.


Lack of training. Should've been more dedicated to it.


Good race. I knew I wasn't going to beat my time from 2 years ago so I was able to just do my best and enjoy myself. The spectators were awesome (getting up at 7 on a cold Sunday just to cheer people on? wow!) I just had fun. and the best part? I placed in my age group!! I never in a million years thought that would happen. If I'd had any idea I would've stayed for my medal! How awesome is that? Tri #13, one of the most fun, *and* I place in my AG?!! w00t! I'm feeling great. this is the motivation I need to kick up my training so I can do well in Pittsburgh.
