Holualoa Tucson Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

The sinus infection reared its ugly head quickly and breathing in the pool was tough. I was way too slow per 100 and the first 200 should have bee a lot faster.

Not get sick two days prior to a race! silly.

T1 was great. The new siglet prooved its worth here. I also left the socks at home and just went bare. The sun was still out during T1 so I left the windbreaker behind.

Go faster! I had a heel stuck in one shoe and had a hard time with it.

They need to pave Euclid Rd.!

The sun was still out until half way through the first lap. The clouds rolled in and the temp dropped 10 degrees. I was wishing I had my coat I left in T1. My chest, legs and feet went numb which was better than the burning sensation I first experienced.

I had to pause a couple of times to keep from puking. I think this was from still being a bit sick. This of course caused my race time to suffer.

Fluid intake was limited by nasuea and the bitter cold.

Not be SICK!! hahaha

A great T2. Hey if everything else sucks do good T's count for anything? I love the singlet.

I should have put the coat on here too... but alas I didn't;).

I was pleasantly surprised by my run time. I had to stop several times just to concentrate on not puking. I continued a fast walk duirng those times so that had to have helped.

Again fluid intake was limited by nasuea and the bitter cold.

Walked around a bit until my HR came down. Drove home after collecting my things.


Being still fairly sick and only half way through my antibiotics.


I was really looking forward to this race and putting down a great time. All the split times came from my watch and may or may not be accurate. I had to cut my own T1 and T2 times as they lump both in the bike leg.
