Naval Station Newport/Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Well I think I smoked the swim but 2 min per 100 is way slow for me. The course could have been long as there were a few people commenting on this after the race. Found feet to draft off of and I was hanging in pretty well. Small problem with goggles but I did not do a good job making sure that they were fit properly. Came out of the water in the top 10 or so and passed most of the first wave...did not expect that at all.

Not much...pretty happy with it!

I need to figure out the whole running mount/dismount thing.

OK...I did not expect to blast the bike this hard. I did not get passed all that much and I actually passed a few people. Some of the 3rd and 4th wave go fast guys passed me toward the end but overall I think I had a very strong ride.

Possibly gone a little harder as the boss thinks that I held back a bit.

I have no idea what I was doing for 2 minutes.

Get the Zoot running shoes.

Uggghh...

I guess running 8:40s is pretty respectable but I really need to drop about 25 more pounds. I definately lost buckets of time on the run but, again, this was expected.

Not weigh 230 at the start.

Walk around in circles with a big smile.


Weight...I really think I can drop 2 min per mile off of my run with another 30 or so pounds gone.


This was a really good race. I am very happy with the swim and the bike...the run, not so much. I usually can judge how I did from my wife's reaction. She seem genuinely surprised where I finished...quite honestly so was I.

For a first year race this was outstanding. Two words: omlet station. Yes...at the finish they had cooks doing omlets and pancakes. Plenty of everything. Very nice.
