Race Reports for White Lake Double Sprint Triathlon 2006

[1]

Comments: I suppose its the bad races that make the good races seem so..... well ....good. I hate for this RR to seem so negative as well. I guess my expectations going in were much higher than they should have been. I also think that this race signifies a change in my goals for this season as I no longer think I can finish in the top 20 in my AG for the season. I think all of this is coming out in this RR. Its hard to believe I feel this way since this truly is a personal best for me for this race, but I'm more disappointed in where the time savings are coming from. I think I realize that the swim isn't going to win any races. Its just going to put me out in front where I need to lengthen that lead. I'm frustrated that it just isn't happening on the bike, and I'm giving it back on the run. So...with this race, I need to re-think the goals and decide if they are even attainable. I need to work on the bike and the run segments of my racing and try to find that groove to get in.

Comments: As rough as the water was last year, this year may have been worse. Going into the race I felt like I would be OK givin the fact that I live here and have practiced swimming in rough surf, just not this rough.

Comments: The race was delayed 15min due to the buoy situation. I never thought I'd say this but the surf was rougher this year than last. But I love the format of the race and will continute to do it, hopefully the swim will get easier.
