The Works St. John's Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

Solid swim. Started out on the left side of the course away from the main groupFound some feet 50m out from the first buoy. Stayed with those until they went way off-course. Swam solo for the next 300m, then with a group the rest of the way in.

I came in ahead of Jason, Geoff and Greg. Very happy with my swimming this season. Did not feel overly winded.

A long run to T1. Was undecided on wearing socks. Got to my spot, decided yes so a bit longer than I wanted.

I went hard on the bike. During the first 10km of the bike I thought that I may not have enough left for lap two and the run.

The Outer Ring Road portion was very windy.

Rode a PB bike leg for this course today. Considering the amount of wind this is GREAT!

A good T2. Racked the bike. Struggled a bit with one bike shoe.

Grabbed my gel and a swig of GU2O before I was onto the run course.

Ran the entire way except for one <60 second portion on the second lap. Really had to make sure that I was able to get the water in me.

Legs got heavy towards the end but I was able to hang on to my pace. Ran the hills very smartly - slowed the pace a bit but many footstrikes to keep me moving.

Ate some food, grabbed some water, dry clothes, then a massage, then some light stretching.


I raced a very, very good race today. I was strong and steady throughout.

More hard running off the bike will help.

More hard interval training on the bike will also be beneficial.


I am very pleased with today. I came ahead of some very good athletes which is a good sign for my season and for the season ahead. I'm also getting closer to some of the guys ahead of me.

I also learned that I can really push hard and do well. My body is ready for it.
