Lake Las Vegas Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

We had a pretty small group the last wave so it cleared quickly and was a good open swim. Water was a good temperature but murky and a little slimy. Ran head on into some of the earlier wave and had to watch out for them.

Nothing really, I was worried about the heat so I didn't want to push too har d on the swim. Turns out the cloud cover really helped the Temp.

Had to run bike out and up a hill to mount. Where everyone was mounting was in the way of the sprint bike course and there was a lot of bike traffic.

Need to work on mounting bike with shoes clipped in.

I was upset about it being so short and the crowd caused way too much braking but I still had a good ride. I saw one cyclist that had a flat due to the same thing that happened to me. He was still mad at the end of the race. Luckily no one was hurt but the potential was there.

Work on the engine more.

There was a steep hill down into transition that I slipped a little getting off the bike. Seems everyone was doing the same thing though.

good transition

Ran well, caught a couple and wasn't passed. Ran better up the hills than down. A lot of smiles out on the course, most of us were happy with the cloud cover:)

run faster? Actually very happy with my run. I believe it was actually 6.2 miles too!

drank lots of cold water, waited for my wife to finish the run (she did the relay with 2 of her friends)


crowd on the bike course but mostly me!


Race day was OK. Course was tough to get a handle on. Distances were off, the last 2 waves were almost locked out of transition(ran through pool area of Hotel), but race day came together fine. The finish line wasn't marked so people (including myself) ran right into where they were taking off the chips but there was a good crowd at the end.
