Breath of Life Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

Need to warm-up and not get the shock for the frigid waters. Somehow I need to find the people that are at or near my speed so I can draft off them. I need to learn of be coached on this one. Need to work on sand run, my heart rate jumps like crazy there. Took 7min for water to get timing chip past sensor in transition. A great way to improve a swim time there.

Great transition, went without the water bucket, and didn't have any issues. Probably made my T1 faster. Time not taken at this race, but under 2:00 min

For this course they have a no-pass zone coming out of T1, would have clipped shoes on to bike and clipped in on the no-pass zone. I think I am going to practice this shoes pre-clipped in to use it at PG.

Only one bad thing happened, near the end of my first loop my bike patch kit that was velcroed on to my seat post, popped off and the clanged my back wheel as it feel, sounded bad and I had to come to complete stop to make sure everything was ok. Probably cost me a minutes, (stopping, clipping out, finding out what fell off, and getting back on and clipped and up to speed)

Hill work is great to get stronger and handle quick bust of power and letting off for downhills. This course and every flat course requires peddling the whole time, so I need to work on this. Peddling for 40Km straight at top-end speed.

Forgot my visor, and took a little too much time getting the salt tablets worked out. No transition time from course, under 1:00min here as well

Run out of transition with bottle and salt, and take it on the course not start in transition

Need to control the hear rate a little better, and get the speed up. Need to work on speed work-outs to get run into 8min/miles. But this is marked as the first Oly that I didn't have to walk at all on the run. Which is very exciting to me.

Just work on speed more and be ready for it.

Just walked around a little and got some food into me. Kind of let it set in, that I had finally broke 3 hours. Crushed it actually. Now I know my limiter is still the run. I need to kick it up a couple notches to get 2:30 at PG. But at least this time my nutrition was right and I felt great the whole race.


My weight and base on the swim and bike. Need to re-up my base in both to be able to hit 2:30 at PG.


The only thing I would have liked was one aid station on the ride, and more importantly some gatorade on the run course, because the electrolytes were gone by the second run loop. I wish they kept track of transition times.
