St. Peters REC-PLEX Spring Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

i was disappoined with this. i know i haven't been to the pool for any meaningful amount of time in months, but i was really hoping to do this quicker. oh well, it FELT pretty good at least.
Still, I passed a handful of people, and didn't get passed by anybody, so that's pretty cool.

spend lots more time in the pool.

no problem getting through T1 quickly.

nothing.

I really got after it on the bike course this year. Staying aeor 95% of the time helps, too. Basically, it was the fastest hour of riding of my life. When I got out of the pool, I figured there were about 15 people in front of me on the course. My goal was to pick off as many as possible. I was able to track down 8 or 9 people that I recall. I did get passed by the eventual winner, though.
I took most of my gel early on, and squeezed out the rest of it about mid way through the race. I sipped water throughout.
In general, I really worked my ass off out there because I knew I didn't have to run.

I might have taken a 2nd gel. But who knows how my stomach will respond when I'm working that hard. so i'll say... nothing.

Got right to the rack quickly where i tagged my teammate, Brad. He handled the running portion because i'm still timid about going too hard on my iffy ITB.



nothing

So basically Brad tore the course up, posting the 3rd fastest time of the entire field, and the #1 time in the team division. I don't care whether or not people bike before they ran, I'm damn impressed with how fast my teammate ran. he was blazing!

shoot! nothing! i couldn't have picked a better runner, haha!

After relaxing for a bit, we went for a 2mi jog just for fun.

also, I got to meet goobergirl98 and her family. that was awesome! it's always fun to put the names and faces of my "internet friends" together.


lack of time in the pool. that was the only limiter, I think. otherwise, everything was above and beyond!


Another race... another 2nd place finish. I've got quite the pattern developing. This is a lot of fun, though. I would recommend it for the novice, or season triathlete.
