Hansgrohe Acworth Women's Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Great swim for me. I though the water was nice (compared to John Tanner State Park in April it was clean as pool water) I could have gone faster but I found myself right in the middle and it was pretty crowded.
Easy to site with the right turns.

Move to the outside for more room and SWIM HARDER.

It was pretty good. Wore tri suit so no change which was great.

nothing

Loved this course, the flats suited me really well. My bike computer showed 42 minutes/av 18.9 mfh though so not sure what went wrong there.
I had decided to leave nothing out there and I pretty much went as hard as I could. I think that with all women the field is more evenly matched and it was really crowded. You would either get blocked in or have to pass so those were not great TT conditions.

Nothing really it was a great ride for me.

Good time, it was ok.

It was just awful. I am not a good runner but at 55 minutes after the swim and bike I knew I could beat my goal time of 1 hr 30 min.
Couldn't get my legs under me the first mile and the hills just kept comming. At 2 miles I was still on pace and the smile could not have been wiped off my face. I can not believe we were not informed of the longer course. I just died at the end and the disappointment of not making my goal time (WHICH I WOULD HAVE DONE EASILY AT 3.1 miles!!!) initially just ruined the race for me.

I really need to step up my run training. All the girls I passed on the bike all passed me on the run - actually I think EVERYBODY passed me on the run so this is where I really need to focus and improve.

Drank some water and hurried out of there to catch the shuttle before it got too crowded.


In short: run training.



Of course there is the remote finish but I have to say that although I technically (!?) did meet my goals I was pretty upset at the finish that we were not informed the run was so much longer.
