Graniteman Triathlon - Triathlon

I decided to wear my wetsuit as a comfort thing and in the end it cost me a good performance today. The swim went okay. I could tell within the first 200 meters that I was very warm.

Not wear my wetsuit.

Once I got out of the transition area with my bike I went to get on and suddenly my stomach had other ideas. I had to pull over to the side of the road and let my breakfast come back out. After 1:00 to 1:30 I managed to get on the bike and take off.

Not puke.

Once I got on the bike I felt very comfortable. My time includes my upchucking session, which slows it down. I passed a lot of people on the bike course in my heat but also had quite a few guys from the 2nd heat pass me. Those dang guys with mortgages on their bike :) Didn't have a problem with my stomach during the rest of the course.

Not start of with a puking sesssion.

During the bike I took off the top portion of my one piece tri suit and as I stood up to climb a hill it got caught on my seat. I noticed it but I thought it would come right off when I would stand up again. So as I came in for T2 I was stuck on my bike. My shoes were unclipped but yeah I kind of had a crash but didn't scrap myself at all. I'll have to check the bike for any marks. Switching shoes went great and off on the run I went!!

Not crash coming into T2.

SLOW!! I didn't feel this slow during the run. I was extremely warm and just wanted to make sure I didn't have another puking session. I need to work on my running legs coming off of the bike. They didn't feel great, but not extremely horrible. But I feel like I should be quicker in the run.

Run faster!!

Cooled down and chatted with friends again.


Decision making (Wetsuit and coming into T2)


Could have used another water station on the run. It was only 3 mile sbut it was HOT!!
