New Jersey State Triathlon - Olympic Distance - TriathlonOlympic

swim started out a little rough, placed myself in the back and to the right based on my last swim were i was slower than normal, but for some reason i swam my normal pace which cause me to swim in some traffic. Once i got clean water i felt i was having a good swim for me. The back end of the course i could not see the last buoy and i needed to turn right at the buoy so i kept swimming to my left, so i didn't take the fastest line, but that's normal for me.

swim a straight line.

just an avg T1 for me. I am not fast or slow here. Of course i could be faster.

don't know if i would say the course had a bunch of hills, but the course wasn't flat like the RD said it was. :) A lot of turns on the course, i like a course where you just go and don't need to turn that often. This wasn't a great bike for me, not sure what i was waiting for but it seemed i was just out for a ride rather than a race. I need to get a killer instinct where i just go all out during a race.

need to go faster

nothing much happen here, did the best that i could

this is where my race normally fall apart. I am not good off the bike. I felt like i was running slower than i really was (which is good for me). During the run i kept trying to pick up the pace up i couldn't get myself to run faster, it's like i only have one speed during the run. This is something i REALLY need to work on.

I need to try and run faster off the bike. This is a goal of mine for the rest of this year and next year.

hung out with my teammates. A few of my teammates collected some hardware including Mike who came in 1st overall for the sprint race. Maybe he can show me how to go fast during the run.


This was a great race. Very well organized, great volunteers. I will be back next year.
