Race Reports for Holliston Lions Triathlon

Race rating (4)

Comments: I did this race last year and I improved my time by 12 minutes, possible 13 if I didn't need to use the little boys room. However, I felt so much better this year than last year. Last year, I hoppled off the bike and was shot for the run. I had to walk a few times last year, where this year I was strong throughout. At the finish last year, my legs were just shot, this year, they were sore, but nothing too bad. I crossed the line with a big smile and I thanked every water station volunteer and made sure to put my cup in a garbage bag if they had one. Overall, this was a great race for me and a good convidence builder for next week. However, look at how fast everyone is who does this race!

Comments: Tony D beat me by like 5 min which is a lot! I was hoping to finish like 2-2:30 min behind him cuz I knew his bike split was going to be insane. (It was, he avg 26 + mph) but the extra 2:30 min were cuz of my lousy petty attempt of a swim and my chain issue on the bike. The 2nd place is a guy on his way to go Pro (I think) with a few wins under his belt and a couple of sub 4:15hrs HIM so he is a good athlete. he beat me by 3+ min. (1:30 was lost in the swim + bike issue) On the bright side I beat my time from last year by 7+ min and enjoyed most of my day. For now I am off to work on my ludicrous swim :)
