Hawk Island Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Thought the water was kinda icky. Overall easy sighting, easy swim.

Oy. Could not get wetsuit over timing chip. Sat down and finally got it done.

Don't yet know secret to efficient wetsuit removal.

The "this is a flat course" isn't quite true, imho,(tho largely flat, but not flat like Sylvania) but maybe my legs were tired from my little 4-hr bonanza Friday :-)

Road was a bit dodgy in places and did fear a flat as I need new tires.

Nothing. I pulled back and did try to slow down, keeping in mind this was a dress rehearsal for me and kept thinking, about what will I be doing in 2 weeks for Boise.

Thought I did better than average in T2 and would get below a minute but apparently not....

Nothing. Maybe do helmet removal as coming into T2....

Oy, my hip flared up out the gate. The first mile felt like a long mile and I thought "gee I hate running." Fine time to feel like that 2 wks b/4 a 1/2 mary. But again, I'm probably just overall spent from a heavy training week.

Nothing. Probably would perform better if not so tired. Based on my AG rank, I can definitely see the run is the weak link in my arsenal :-)

Walked around, talked to BT peeps. Great day overall. Weather beautiful.


Once again, running 2 hours and biking 4 hours, 4 & 2 days before race. +Tired overall. I was very happy with my performance. I went out about
70-80%.


This is a great little race, and a good beginner race. Fit the bill for my "practice" run before Boise 70.3. They had TONS of volunteers. All in all this is really one I highly recommend. Kudos to the race organizers. No wonder folks keep coming back!
