Mid-Summer Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I tried to stay more in line with the group so I wouldnt zig-zag as much. I still found myself zigging and zagging.

I will get better at this with time and several planets in alignment. I could have placed top 3 in my age group if my swim was in line with my competition. The top 6 in my age group were all given a 6 min head-start out of the water...you welcome!!

Rocked this transition!! I was within seconds of all the fastest. This transition has a long run in and out so my actual time in T1 was minimal.

Nothing

Out to turn around at about 23mph and 25 on the way back. Pushed hard the whole time. Left a little for the run, but not much. I am stoked with this result!!!

Drink a bit during the bike so I feel better in the run.

Again, this went as planned. Within seconds of all the top guys.

Nothing

For the first mile I was feeling great, keeping a 6:45 pace. My goal was to get just under 7 min/mile. Then at the turn around I took in some water. I had a splitting side ache the whole way back. Saw a guy in my age group heading to the turn around so I picked it up a bit but he flew past me! I tried to keep the pace up but it was tough. I passed a few people on the run. I gave it everything on this run. Happy with my performance in the run today!

More speed work. I think my leg is getting back to the point were its ready to be pushed a bit. I know with more training I'll be able to get my time down.

Walked around with Red, went and ate some food.


My slow ass swimming. I'm going to put an endless pool in the back yard and live in it. I will turn into a fish, grow gills, and come back and destroy the competition!!


Needless to say the highlight of today was my bike performance. I knocked over 5 minutes off my PR for a sprint dist tri!! I'm hooked, cant wait for the next one!!
