I must have passed 8 people in 150 yards and i suck at swimming. Apparently other people suck more. This is an estimated time because the transition is included in the online splits.

Nothing, felt strong. But I need to start training for real swims.

T1 was run to Bike. No splits given. So this is a guess.

I thought this was going to be a pancake flat course it wasnt, which screwed me up mentally. Not that it was a hard course, but . . . Anyway I just couldn't seem to get my pace up. I just felt slow.

As usual, train more.

T2 was bike to swim. Time is estimated.

Maybe leave the socks off, but i'm afraid of getting blisters.

Well this just sucked. I haven't been able to run because of an injury to my ribs. my last two 5K tris were under 7 min miles ave. My first mile was a solid 6:53 and then I fell apart. Average about 7:30, a big drop. Also my "good" achilles started to flare up for the second half of the race. BLAH!

Just be healed up.

jog around a little. Hurry back to see wife finish 1/2 marathon in Redlands.


Injury to ribs, and inability to train from injury. Problems with achilles. Overall undertraining as usual.


Well organized moderately easy sprint tri. For good cause, helps disabled athletes. Also ran this last year, much better organized. There were some timing problems which they fixed a few days after the race.
