Buffalo Triathlon - Olympic Distance - TriathlonOlympic

This was my longest swim of the year.

I was surprised by my swim results. I expected a time closer to 30:00 but the wetsuit really helped.

Train More!

Took it easy.

This was my longest bike ride of the year.

I had figured a 21 mph average, but I'll take darn near 22 at this point.

Ride more.

Again, took it easy.

I had expected better here, but I suspect that my lack of bike training took it's toll here. I was shooting for a 7:45 pace.

Bike more.

Lack of training.

This was a C race on my schedule and I gave serious thought to not competing due to my lack of training. I am glad I went.

My attitude was that this was going to be a long training day and that is exactly what I had. I was pleasantly surprised with the results. I know that I am capable of a much better performance, but I also know that my training has limited me up until this point.

I have more than a month and a half until my next scheduled race and a month until my next possible race. This is plenty of time to get into a routine.


This is one of the best races that I have done. Highly recommended.
