Carlsbad Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

My swim didn't feel all that bad bud looking at my time I somehow got slower than last year. A bit confused by that since I am way faster at swimming than last year. I know was sick coming into this one but I didn't really feel like it hurt me that much on the swim. Guess I still have a lot of work to do.

Get better at swimming!

Fastest T1 I have ever had, kept gear very minimal today and was able to blaze right through the transitions.

Not sure, this was the best I have ever done, pretty happy with it.

Felt pretty good on the bike, kept a good pace, maybe could have pushed just a little harder.

Ride harder

Super fast transition again, probably fastest T2 ever for me also.

First time ever the run wasn't my strongest event. This is where my being sick kicked my butt. As soon as I started the run I couldn't breath and got a really sharp pain in my stomach, felt like I got shot. Everytime I expanded my lungs I could feel the pressure against the spot in my stomach and it hurt bad. I actually had to stop and sit down for a little bit. Eventually got myself going again and trotted my way in but I was never able to really let my legs work the way I wanted to. My time actually ended up being faster than I expected on the run though, I felt like I had run much slower. Pretty curious to see how I can run these days when not sick.

Not get sick.

went home and slept until the next morning!


Being sick.


Fun race, happy I did it even though I was sick. Last year this was the first race I ever trained for so it was neat to finally get to repeat a race. Really wish I could have been healthy for it, but oh well.
