HRCA Tune Up Sprint Triathalon - TriathlonSprint

I need to get in the groove like I ended up last year.

Swim faster

I did fine until I had to mount the bike. The second time was a charm. I'm so impressed with my new Tri bike (sic)

Use my tri setup on my steel Lemond.

I made great strides last year on the bike. With all my success, I decided to buy a Tri bike (a QR I got fitted at BikeSource). I have ridden it
some, but not a lot, with the weather and back problems. I may just hang it up this year and go back to my 20lb.Lemond RB for the rest of this tri year.

Use the road bike and push the hills.

Awful T2- not sure- I think I did only a minute.

n/a

The back, the back, the back. So what, I finished- thinking I would take a DNF at race start.

Run when my back feels better.

I drank water, but if my boss wasn't there, I would have drank several brews.
I only say that because I'm calling in sick Monday.....I'lll wait until I finish mowing the lawn before taking the Percodets...


hmmmmm.... quads, hams, calves, lungs all minor and my lower back 7-8 on pain scale.


Well done Tri!!!. I always like a race where I get a medal for
basically sucking...

Seriously, I had no plans of doing this race up until Thursday, and even then, I intended on DNF'ing when I came into T2. So I'm happy I sucked it up and finshed.

I have the Boulder sprint Sunday. I'm 90% not doing it.
