Endurance Magazine Triathlon at Cane Creek - TriathlonSprint

First triathlon ever, not the best swim in world, but I finished! My goal was 25 min, and beat that goal by a good 5 min! I forgot to put my googles down over my eyes, but turned over and fixed them. I swtiched between freestyle, side stroke, backstroke and even threw in a little doggie paddling for good measure. :)

Try to relax a little more, definitely need to continue to work on swimming.

Long path from water to TA area, walked up it, recovering from swim.

Run from water to TA

Finished the bike in under an hour! I was very happy with that. Goal was 1 hr 5 min. My bike chain came completely off my bike at mile 10, so I had to stop, get off my bike and fix it. I had never fixed a bike chain before, but I definitely wasn't about to quit....

Try not to switch gears so much, take a bike maintenance clinic.

Good transition for me. Legs a little shaky from the ride, so nice little recovery before the run.

Nothing

Ok, so definitely not the best 5k time, but I had actually planned on a 45 minutes 5k, so again, passed my goals. Walked a good portion of the run, but was ok with that. I did fall down (twisted my ankle and fell) and had a great Miame Vice roll on the asphalt, but got back up and continued to run.

Not sure, just more practice.....

Walked around, made some water and gatorade.....good stuff.


Have only been training 6-7 weeks, so just need more training.


This is my first ever triathlon, I wanted to finish in 2 hr 30 min and completely crushed that goal! Even though I came in 5th from last, I came in! Thanks to my husband and all fellow BT'ers for being at the finish line to cheer me across. I had a great time.....
