San Diego International Triathlon - Olympic - TriathlonOlympic

An excellent swim. I had a good start, was able to find a lane pretty quick and just had an easy stroke. I felt great, strong, and not really winded. Probably one of my best swims.

Start more towards the front.

Took it easy here, not a fast transition. I walked a bit to the bike to get my breathing relaxed. I wanted to start the bike fresh and not all winded like usual.

Nothing

Not one of my better rides. My quads were really tight for most of the ride so I could not push it too much. Also I am pretty slow on the climbs so it felt like I was getting passed by everyone (and probably was).

Need to get faster!!!!!!

Another slow transition. I sat and put some socks on before getting into my running shoes. Again I wanted to leave transition relaxed and not breathing hard.

What a crappy run, I really struggle with this part almost to the point of not enjoying the race. It is a real mental struggle seeing everyone - men, women, kids, old folk, fat folk - passing me like I was standing still. I really need help with my run, I just do not seem to be getting faster. I started off decently but faltered about mile 3 and had to walk a couple of times, besides the aid stations. Running sucks, simple as that.

Need to learn how to run, this is getting so frustrating.

Easy walk, had some food and drink.


RUNNING SUCKS!!!


If it was not for my good swim I would be severly disappointed with this race. I finished slower then last year, by almost 2 minutes. I think my reduced training is really affecting my performance, just so hard to get all my workouts in every day. Hopefully Pendleton in 3 weeks will be a better race for me.
