Cascade Lake Triathlon & Duathlon - TriathlonSprint

Was able to maintain freestyle the hwole way so that was an improvement. Time includes a 300 yd run up hill from the swim exit to the transition area.

Fix my goggle right.

Probably could've attacked the hills a little faster. Had a hard time catching my breath from the run up from the swim. The bike went right into a decent climb about 1 mile in. Also, should've tucked a little more on the downhills.

Tucked more and pedaled less on the DH's. Attacked the hills a little harder.

Probably my best transition to date. Took a short moment to stretch but otherwise all business. Walked a tiny bit approaching my rack spot.

Fought a really bad side stich on the first loop. actually had to slow to a walk and try to stretch it out. Pushed through it on the second lap and probably ran a 7:00 min mile at an attempt to make up for it. I think the weird downhill at the start/finish played a part. I felt really good up to that point and was ready to hit the run pretty hard but i developed that stich on the second downhill. Sucks. Oh well.

Not sure. I fought that stitch pretty hard and I don't usually get that so I'm not sure what the deal was.

Hills :-); Damn side stitch.


Great event. The course definitely had a lot of quirks but the staff did a great job! This was one of the most organized events I've been to.

Interesting Note: I emailed the RD on Tuesday morning and asked to switched from Clyde to 30-34 as I dropped below 200 lbs with my training. I was excited about that... first in 10 years. I probably really am a 200 lb-er though and especially after drinking water etc. Long story short... I would have placed third in clyde at this race.
