Buck Creek Triathlon - Olympic Distance - TriathlonOlympic

Didn't have a great swim...I felt sluggish and had a lot of trouble sighting. Foggy goggles and just kept veering off course. Kept thinking I wish I had had a chance to swim it prior to the race. I was disoriented and just slow.

I was fastest in my AG in both transitions. For once. I even forgot my yankz for my running shoes and still was fast. go figure.

Big fun ride. The first 10 minutes or so my heart rate felt wacked. I was a bit worried. I think it was going from the swim, running up a grassy hill, a fast transition then hopping on the bike and hitting some hills. Once it settled, I felt pretty good, but didn't push it. Also was wishing I had my Quintana Roo, as I could have really soared on the hills!!

my belly was a limiter for me. my legs felt great, heart rate great, but every time I tried to push it my stomach let me know I had better slow down or there would be severe consequences. I blame all the travel, wacky food, odd sleeping hours and consumption of adult beverages on our trip.

stretched, had my recovery drink, loaded the car, and drove home in time to get a shower and head out to see my husband and son race BMX.


Being on the road and not disciplined enough to avoid the no-no's!


nice course, nice race. short report :) I was 7/18 in women, so there were a lot more men in this race of 90 participants!
