Los Angeles Triathlon - Olympic Distance - TriathlonOlympic

I swam at a slower pace to keep my HR down and to conserve energy for bike/run. A lot of people complained about the swim, but I liked it a lot. I started out in front and kept that pace and finished 3rd.

Swim faster like I am capable of.

T1 was slower because we had to pack all of the gear into the bag after the swim so that the bag could be delivered to T2.

Nothing. I thought it was a good T1 even with the slower time for packing the bag

Felt good on bike. Hydration was great. Felt I used my gearing great

Push harder on the straight aways in a big gear.

T2 was large and long. Took bike shoes off and ran in socks to my spot. My T2 was at the very end. It was running down a narrow aisle, so that took a little speed off---waiting behind some people

Run faster in T2 to get my legs loosened up before heading out to the main course

My run is still the weakest point. The hill sucked. It slowed me down. I again, picked up the pace for the last 1/2 mile. I only walked (besides the hill) during water stations. I had bad gas and cramped up, but I let 'er go and felt fine. Next year I am running the hill, fuck this walking up it shit!

Skip a few water stations. I might have drank too much because I was pissing clear 4 hours after the race!!! I will avg sub 10min miles next time.

Walked around for 20min, stetching out the calves.


Training limited my peformance and so did that damn hill!


I will do this again. Next time, my buddy will be running it with me!
