Westpoint Lake Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

Swim felt really good for me. It's my limiter for sure, but I definitely had no problems during this race. No Fatigue, no slowing down over distance, none of that. Felt strong from start to finish.

Nothing for this race. Try to find some speed in the future.

Good T1 time. Efficient, no issues.

Steady as she goes.

Well.. clearly, this should have been better. This was my lowest / slowest event in terms of Age Group ranking. That's not normal for me. I really think this came down to time in the saddle on my new bike. Not enough. Everything went well, and perhaps I could have pushed harder, but what good does thinking that now do me. I have to improve here.

Train on my bike more.

A good T2. I put on socks, so I could have been faster, I just didn't want to chance a blister. I'd prefer to go sockless and have many times, but since I changed over to Inspires from Alchemy's, I blister in the Arch every time I do it. Perhaps a pre-race band-aid on that spot. Next time.

Pre race band aid?? :)

Just an RCH above 47:xx.. who cares. I should be faster here too. I am not happy with a 10k run in the 48's.. really, would not be much happier with one in the 47's either. I felt good, and thought I was pushing it. Was not having any troubles. Makes mme think it was a bit long, but it was the same distance for everyone else too. Anyway. No reason to be doing 48 minute 10k's. Unacceptable.

Go faster.

Hit the misting tent for a few. Is there anything better than a post race misting tent? Yes, a post race ice cold beer. I had three of those as well. Hung out at the NAMC turn to the finish. AKA cowbell corner. I also asked the announcer (ATS Tony) to call KM, K big mac M.. and he did. I laughed.


I'm just having an off year all around in Triathlon. Nothing has felt 'right', including St. Anthony's, where I performed well. This race felt 'right', but I know I am can do better. Perhaps I have turned the corner. This was a WPL PR for me, by one minute over last year. My times in all events are remarkably similar to last years times. I'm not sure what to make of that. There are a lot of differneced between the two events in terms of where I was physically and what I was working towards in 07.


West Point Lake is a keeper on the Schedule. All GA Multisports events are well done.
