Camp Pendleton International Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

Totally need more sighting practice or something. I was grabbed by a lifeguard because I was swimming off course. I probably swam 100-200 extra meters than everyone else. Worked on my drafting due to my lack of sighting abilities.

Practice sighting and study course better.

The T1 was close to a 1/4 mile run from the beach to the bike. I thought it would be more effective to remove my wetsuit on the beach so that I could run faster. It didn't really seem to help so I don't think I'll do it again, plus it got sand all over the place.

I was actually going to take it easy on the bike because my run usually gets slow if I push the bike to hard. The bike course just felt so fast that I decided to change my plan and see what I could do. It paid off because my run was a bit faster than my 1st OLY.

Try and go faster. Drink more

I actually cramped once I stepped off my bike and could barely put my right foot down due to my calve turning into a rock. Once I straightend it out I was good to go but I still can't figure out why I cramp up so much during races and not during training.

This is a PB for me but I still feel like I could have biked faster.

I started off really well but then started worrying about bonking so I slowed the pace a bit. I seem to do bricks well in training but can never convert that to races. I definitely like the 2 lap course as opposed to the out and back. I like conserving the 1st lap and then pushing it during the 2nd lap.

I think I would try and push the last 4 miles harder. I know I can run faster but for some reason I'm pooped out after the bike more than I should be.

Chatting with others and drinking water.


Cramping has definitely been my biggest problem and I even cramped up in the water this time. It seems to be in my calves all the time.


This is a great PR race site. If you train a bit on hills with your bike you will definitely get a great OLY time. I had a blast and look forward to doing it again next year.
