Lake Minnetonka Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

This one was a bit rough at the start. Lots of bumping and after the 1st bouy, I found myself "drifting" from the front pack... they all seemed to be headed off course? I sighted, saw the bouy, but there were only about 5 of us heading in that direction. The rest were heading to what looked like the 3rd. Bouy... turns out they were. The 2nd bouy was right in the sun and with the Mirrored lenses, I was able to sight was many others couldn't. They were redirected by one of the boats, but by that time, it was an easy 150+ yards. Some chose to keep going and didn't make the trip back. There were no DQ's which was disappointing as there were some really "fast" swim times.

Relax a bit in the beginning. I am happy with my start, but I am too tense.

Still a bit slow here... I was standing there, ready to go and something felt wrong... quick check, shoes, helmet, glasses, suit off... Ready... but that was another 10 seconds or so... should have been sub 2:00 easy!

I need to Practice T1 more!

I was strong on the flats and downhills, but no-where near my normal strength on climbs... hoping next week works out a bit better!

Wasn't mentally into the bike until after the turn around. Need to make the switch quicker

This one was ok, but still should have easily been less than 1 minute.

push through a bit quicker and get that last drink on the bike before I get to transition.

This was a reasonable run for me. My foot is still hurting where the peroneal tendon attaches on the outside of the foot. Good pace for me for a 3 mile run, could have put a bit more into it!

Still need to work on my running. My training plans pick up a bit on the run side, but I still really struggle. However, seeing as though I could barely walk on Weds. I am thrilled with the result.

Walked and got some water... Stretching and found some shade. It wasn't overly hot, but the shade felt good.


Great venue and close to home... not much more to ask for.
