Lone Star Triathlon Festival - Sprint - TriathlonSprint

Jumped off the dock and swam to the start. I felt good most of the way and didn't let the bumping bother me too much. The same thing happend I go for a ways and just stop my freestyle stroke and start doing the breast stroke. All I can say is at least I did the freestyle longer than I normaly do. It is all mental I need to get over it!!

Spend more time in the pool. That said I beat last years swim by 3:31

I swam w/o a wetsuit and no shirt. I alway wear my shirt in the races when I swim. I lost my race belt so I attached the number to shit which means I had to put it on in T1.

Get another race belt. I beat last years time by 1:18

If my computer was correct I was going between 20.5 mph and 22.1 mph most of the way out with a top speed of 23 mph. On the way back the head wend keeped me between 17 mph and 19 mph with a low speed of 16 mph.

I need to work harder when I have the wind at my back so it doesnt hurt my time so much when I have the head wind. That said I beat my time from last year by 4:10

I was feeling a bit tired but tried to run with the bike

Run with the bike Beat by time from last year by 46 sec

I thought I was running slower than I was. I felt like I kept the same pace the all the way to the end when I picked it up at the end.

Try and push myself to go faster I know I can do it. I beat my time from last year by 2:06

Hooked up with my wife and kids at the finish drank some water and walked around to cool down. I met up with some friends from the races and as soon as the opened transition back up I took off to go out of town for the rest of the weekend.


I need to work on swimming and the mental part of racing. I did feel good but I know I can do better. I KILLED my time from last year by 11 mins.


Great race enjoyed saying hello to fellow BT folks. I will do it again next year.
