Niantic Bay Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

There was alot of chop that made sighting difficult. Everytime I looked up I took in a mouth full of water. I did something different this time went out in front of the wave rather than the back...which might lead to the OH WOW!!..I had no idea I was 3rd in my age group coming out of the water..Saweeeeet!!!! To bad I suck at biking....

apparently nothing!!

Can't complain as its a 2 min PR since my last tri..still have trouble getting my wetsuit off.

Hire me a personal stripper...wetsuit that is!;)

Tied for 11th. I probably could have pushed myself a little harder. It was rather disheartening watching people in my AG pass me..I caught a few in the run though!

nothing it is, what it is

Yeah what improvements I made up on T1 I blew in T2..there was a steep downhill coming into transition..nothing you can do about that. When I racked my bike I went to put my shoes on and dang there was something in my left shoe!!..shoot!! had put money in there last time I took them off. Cleared that and tried to put it on again..dang a couple of asthma pills were in there too! Oh well..next time don't store crap in your shoes.

like I said don't store crap in my shoes!!

Took off slow..one of my biggest fears doing this race is its 2 weeks out from Tman and I didn't want to pull a calf muscle again. I paced the first mile at around 10. Once the kinks worked out sped up from there. I was definately doing sub 8s the last mile.

Nothing. Good run passed a bunch of peeps including 3 in my AG..caught the last one 15yards out of the finish line!..Erica has a picture of her leaving transition in front of me..she took off out of transition and I was thinking bummer she is fast, no way I can keep up that pace!..heh..

stood around and talked with Erica and Kelley and Shaun


I didn't go into this race thinking I was going to PR..too worried about being able to do Tman..I figured I would go all out on the swim. Try and improve T1 and the rest take it easy. I definately held back on the bike and it payed off later. Once I was into the 1st mile of the run..I felt great and ended with an 8:30PR!:)


How can you possibly beat a home town race and an 8:30PR?!
