Such a slow swim for me. I think my sighting was way off too because my gps said I swam like 1.4 miles instead of 1.2.

Work on OWS sighting.

I thought I had a really good ride. Tried to keep the HR in the 140s throughout. It was hard keeping my HR down up the big climbs though.

Do more climbing in practice.

Rode in too fast. Almost blew through the dismount area.

God this run sucked for me. The entire time I was struggling to keep my HR down. I felt so slow. The run was really warm and I think thats what was getting to me was the heat.

Lose weight, get faster, train harder.

Wanted to curl up in a ball and die.


The heat and my weight.


This venue is absolutely breathtaking. The course was incredibly beautiful. You get views of Mt. Bachelor almost the entire time on the bike and the Deschutes River on the run. The volunteer staff during check-in seemed kind of miserable but the staff on the course was amazing. So many aid stations on the run course and lost of solutions to keep you cool and hydrated! The activities in the athlete's village was pretty cool too. Getting a voucher for free food (which was delicious) and free beer was a nice treat!
