Charlottesville International Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

I didn't have a great swim,but at least i beat my big lick time -by 2 mins... I was hoping to finish closer to 30 mins , but whatever. The good news is that I didn't feel tired at all coming out of the water..

I think I could use more time in the pool, just working on my technique

Transitions have never been my strong point, but I just wanted to get a gel and get on the bike...

I think I can work on my T's, but I wasn't taking it too seriously.

I have been working on my bike, so I was a bit dispapointed in my time, .. but I still think I'm doing better.. hard to compare my time with the only other oly tri i've done - big lick. hydration was good...

happy with My T2.. I still could have done better if I had remembered to pin on my race bib... I had to go back and that cost me a good 20-30 seconds at least..

I forgot my race belt , so i had to rely on pins.. I think I can really do a lot better here..

I of course, came into the race with an ankle injury.. so I was more focused on not being injured than crushing this course... Only twisted my ankle twice and I almost quit, but I pushed myself to keep going. I hooked up with a group of around 3-6 other runners, and although, I am very sure I could have gone a bit faster, I wasn't going to take any chances ... I let some people pass me (probably on their 2nd lap when I was on my first)... Not terribly happy with 1:10, but hey, I finished and I'm still walking...


hopefully go in not injured... running is my strength and I am confident that this time does not reflect my true abilities.

fitness level on bike and swim.. Injury on run


I didn't take this race too seroiusly, I wanted to assess my fitness level for my 'A' race in September.. I think I know now. Tought course, but I'm very glad I did it. liked the small size in a way, but larger group would have probably helped me not be so close to last.
