Three Sports Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Swim was good. 300 meters so I just hammered it out. Passed a few people, didn't get passed by anyone. Completely sprinted the last 50 meters. I hate ducking under the lane lines. Pool water was kinda warm and salty - ew.

Nothing, really. Too short to strategize - basically, just sprint.

Pretty good - didn't get into my shoes as fast as I would have liked- and kind of a long run from the swim. But overall good - 4th in AG, 35 OA.

Get tri-shoes. ASAP.

Clearly, my bike is the weak link. I could have made up some more time earlier on some nice descents had I shifted into the large chain ring. Lost some time on the flattish/inclines. No real "hills" though. Maintained a good race pace and cadence, though. First half of the course was good - second half, feeling less great, but overall, not horrid.

Get better at using the big gear.

Couldn't find the rack at first - the numbers were facing the wrong way. But got into my sneakers faster this time. And then wasn't sure where the run exit was - my fault for not checking earlier.

Not miss my rack!

Um, so I ROCKED this run! I dunno - I was feeling really strong getting off the bike, and although the first half was pretty much on a slight incline, I still maintained a good pace and really pulled it out on the way back. I could have hauled even more a$$, but the sidewalk was getting kinda crowded, so hard to navigate people and it was getting HOT. MOst of the water I grabbed went over my head. A PR for me!

Nothing - push even more, maybe.

Ate 2 cookies and drank some water. Waited for Sue and Judi to finish. Then Chipotle tacos - mmmm..Got some more free socks, watched the awards.


Just gotta work on that bike...


What a fun little race! Very well organized, lots of food and although they ran out of soda and non-water drinks, they had plenty of water afterward, and more importantly, on the RUN! And kinda glad I slacked a bit this week so I could run with fresh legs.
