Los Angeles Triathlon Championship Series #3 - TriathlonOlympic

Terrible swim - started out OK but my ability to see the buoys was awful - got confused and felt like I was swimming in zig zags. Did improve a little on the way back in but wow it was a slow swim.

Stay focused - if I need to stop and really mark out the buoy then do so. But otherwise it was just one of those days.

Averqage T1 but need to focus more.

Stay a little more focused - basically though my transitions have been OK in last couple of tris.

I tried harder on the bike but my legs were giving me some bother today. Felt at one point like the left was going to cramp (probably because I was hungry, dehydrated and had already had a hard week of training).

Eat more at beginning before race - make sure I was hydrated properly. Otherwise it was not a bad bike split - made up some time on the bike from the swim.

Good T2 but spent some time joshing with Carol, Deena and Duane - should have perhaps been a little more focused. Not sure this lost me any time though.

Stay focused but otherwise it was a good T2 for me.

Not a bad run - definitely not as focused as I should have been but very comfortable (especially since I had decided to talk to people as I ran past). I actually like running in triathlon and this was comfortable for me.

Probably should have gone with less talking and more focused running but I was enjoying myself!

Ummm none as usual.


Tired from drive, week at work and training.

Did not stay focused when swim went below average when I should have done.

Just had a bit of an off day - didn't feel like racing but ended up just enjoying the triathlon and had a good time. (Mind you if I had known I was only 20 odd seconds slower than last year I would have picked up the pace).


I love racing at Bonelli - like the course, the people and the post-race activities.
