 Swim
Comments: A nice swim, took my time (because I still only have one speed anyway) and enjoyed looking at the nice blue sky everytime I took a breath. Found several feet to draft behind. A little surprised at the time, I thought I was faster due to drafting but I zig-zagged for 85m so I guess that's why...  Transition 1
Comments: A nice and smooth T1 the way I like them, perfectly executed  Bike
Comments: Tried to enjoy the ride too, which I did. I have more than one speed at this disciplin, contrary to the swim but I chose not to push, wanted to do “well” (relatively well) on the run. Still, better than my goal time, can’t ask for more Transition 2
Comments: Nothing to report, a good T2  Run
Comments: Been struggling with the run all season so goal was under one hour and enjoy. I did enjoy it, but fell short on time. Not by much and an improvement over 2021 so I’ll take that as a win Post race
Warm down: A quick massage (calves) which felt great. Achilles is almost good now. Was really really tired after, headache, nausea, like never before. Had a nap in the afternoon and to bed early. Felt great the next day . What limited your ability to perform faster: Same answer as all season, slightly overweight, injury issues. This season hasn’t gone well. Roll on 2025! Event comments: Great little race. Still struggling to get many participants but it looks like they’ve decided to keep going. Last updated: 2024-09-03 12:00 AM

Member 3024 Carbondale, Illinois | Subject: RE: Brittatorp Triathlon 1.) I'm so jealous you have a race this close to your house!! 2.) Great job! The headache/nausea thing happens to me some after shorter races with harder efforts. It might also happen after longer races of more moderate efforts, but I think then everything else hurting just blunts it. I think it is dehydration and/or electrolyte imbalances. Glad you felt better the next day, though! |

Office annual golf tournament on the Friday morning (which I won) and far too much food and beer (non alcoholic) in the evening.
My home race, 900m from my house. Woke up at 7, walked the dog to the site to pick up my start up pack, came home, had breakfast even though I was still full from last night. Back on site at 9am
Did this in 2h50 something last year. I knew I would be nowhere near a result like that this year.
Goal was to beat 2021, my first oly (3:06:15)
Stretch goal: under 3 hours
But main goal was to finish and enjoy it.
Proper warm up like last time, jog, stretch, swim
