5430 Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

The plan was to cruise the swim. SO that is what I did. So I wanted to be 13 minutes on the swim. I got pretty damn close. Even with me haulin ass up the hill to T1. The swim was good. My arms felt heavy but I just kept swimming. It was a bit cold so that may have played a part in it. Got a few knocks at first but then It opened up and I was able to swim free without being impeded. Pretty damn good swim. Last year I was 13:33. So almost 30 seconds faster.

Nothing!

4th fastest in the agegroup.Felt fast! Had only a bit of trouble getting out of the wetsuit. Heels were a problem so I stepped on the other leg and it came off. Getting my feet in the shoes was not the best but I got it done.

Just need some more races to practice.

So the plan was to not go 100% on this. Mike wanted me to go about 90%. So I took it easy out of T1 and passed some players. Cooper was one of them. Then some dude and I played tag the entire ride. Then at mile 1 some dude in my agegroup went flyin by me. I let him go. Never saw him again. So I guess he beat me. Pushed a bit going down 36 to gap Cooper. Kept it steady on Neva and 63rd. No one passing me so I was good. Got on the diaganol, and the guy I was playin tag with passes me and says, let's get on it. I let him go and jsut kept him in sight. Pushed again going downhill into T2. Almost caught the guy I was playing tag with on the bike but passsed him in T2 and never saw him again.
A bit slower than last year 41:46. So about 20 seconds slower than last year. I needed it on the run so it worked out!

nothing, good strategy, just stayed steady.

Fastest in the Age group!

Nothing!

Started out just moving the feet at a good cadence. Then just kept it steady ont he dirt section on the way out. I wanted to see where everyone was coming back. The goal was to negative split. We did have a bit of a head wind going out so I knew I needed to wait to pick it up. Turned and missed the lap button on the watch I guess. No data. Picked it up and saw Cooper first, then Dime and a few others. Kept it strong and picked people off. No one passed me today on the run. I was very happy. Caught Ben Kuster at mile 2.5 and jsut blew by him so He haad nothing to respond with. I beat him by 15 seconds. All in all a good run. Tool off 10 seconds here from last year.

Nothing

/Beer ans chatting with all the BT'ers


Not sure.


Just a great race all around. SO good to see all the Bt'ers cheering and signing the poster for Stacie and just having a good time at a Triathlon! Perfect weather as well.
The only other thing I wanted was to podium! Damn close. Faast dudes out there. I need to remember my main goal in IMAZ. So I am sticking to the plan! Thanks Mr. Ricci. Well planned.
I beat last years time by 30 seconds. I wanted 1 minute but I will take it. Looked back at the results and I was bumped up to 4th. I knew I was 4th all along. Somebody must have screwed something up.
