Guelph Lake Weekend - Olympic Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

overall I was happy with the swim results, but I know I could have done better. My goal was to stay off to the side and out of traffic but for some reason I kept drifting back into the crowd which slowed me down a fair bit. Had goggles knocked off once, numerous elbows to the head, kicks to the face etc, the usual stuff!

try and navigate a little better, definitely could shave off a few minutes by staying away from the "mob"

fairly good transition, I don't know how some of these people can do this in less than a minute...something to work on I guess. Had to be careful with all the mud and slippery grass.

had an awesome ride! This is by far the fastest bike that I've done, averaged just over 35 KPH. I found the course pretty crowded however, so many racers today! I did have a couple of good one on one battles with a few people which was fun. I ran into a few people who were blocking the outside part of the lane which made it difficult to pass sometimes, but other than that, it was a good ride.

not too much, interested to see what my time would have been if the course wasn't so crowded.

better transition time this time, no wetsuit to take off!

nothing

pretty good run, muscle just above my right knee started to cramp up at the 3K mark, but worked itself out. Lots of water stations which I used...took a sip of water and dumped the rest on my head to help cool off.

maybe train a bit more to avoid muscle cramps, overall pretty good run

Overall very happy with my result, was aiming to finish under 3 hours and did it in 2:45, pretty good for my first Oly dist. 2 years ago when I did my first try a tri, there was no way I thought I would be doing this distance, but here I am!!
