Ironhead Dallas Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

Bad, bad, and very bad. Started out great, I was flying past everybody and was not tired. I was way ahead and catching the previous waves. Then it got lonely, really lonely. I looked up and I am completely and totally off course!I verred off into the middle and didn't realize it. I was stopped by the kayik and was told to go back all the way around, I swam an extra 300-400 meters and knocked me off course. Then, I started feeling really sick. I could feel the oatmeal coming up and did not like the feeling. Then when I got out of the water I realized that I didn't start my watch.

Next time, don't eat oatmeal. Practice siteing! Start watch when gun goes off.

I suck at the first transition, I couldn't get my shoes on. I was so tired from the extra swim that I felt really weak.

Practice, Practice, Practice.

I went too hard, I actually felt really good but the punishment I took on the run tells me that I must be riding too hard.
I was going really fast and I was passing alot of people.

Ride in a more comfortable zone

I did well in the tranisition

Just practice to move faster.

Sucked, sucked, sucked. I thought I was going to die. With the bad breakfast, extra 400m swim, bad tranistions, and riding way too hard on the bike, oh and the heat with no shade, I was bound to have a bad run and I did. It is hard for me to understand why I can run 6 minute miles in training and then this happens. I need to incorporate a better training regimen when it comes to the run. I need to do hills, 400m repeats, fartlegs, tempo runs, etc. Enough 30 min runs through the streets, it is time to train.

Everything.

Bad breakfast, bad swim, bad transition, bad run, heat. Basically I need more exprenice.


It was a good race.
