Lake Sammamish Sprint - TriathlonSprint

My nerves were REALLY bad. I didn't know if I was going to throw up or poop myself and to top it all off right before the horn blew my goggle strap snapped so I had to tie it but of course that didn't work. I couldn't see a bloody

Buy better goggles and try and think about swimming by myself.

Not a lot of space to move around in but I did my best to get out there and fast. Some women were joking around about how they were out the water 1st and yet others were offski on their bikes. How can you not love this sport and the people that take part?

My poopy equipment, running skills and water intake.


What a great race!!!! Loved the course, it was so scenic. I will certainly do this again. I only wish there were more water stations on the run as I didn't bring my bottle with me this time.
