War at the Shore Triathlon - TriathlonLong Course

Holy cow were those waves BIG! Got nervous when the race director started talking about rip tides. Toughest swim yet. Beaten by waves, kicked in the mouth and then a full mouth full of salt water. But my time was better than I thought it would be.

Hit the freestyle stroke with a little more confidence in the chop.

I need this to be much faster. It was a long run from the beach through a long t area and I was wiped out. Sand everywhere.

Practice the full T

Had a good ride, maybe too comfortable. If I'm going to get better I need to ride better.

Push harder

Again, a long run in the bike shoes didn't help but I need to turn these quicker. Just wasting time.

Practice damn it

Felt great on the run. Could have gone a lot further. Which again means I didn't push myself hard enough. It was a new, longer distance so I was tentative. Not next time.

Run harder. Push.

Breakfast with the family at my in-laws. Bagels with eggs AND bacon. YUMMY.


Tentative about the distance. Didn't trust myself or my training.


Its a fun race especially with an ocean swim. Flat and fast. Water stations stunk since you had to pour your own water. Really?!? The weather was perfect. Very competitive field.
