Subject: Pineapple Man Triathlon This was my first open water swim and it was a little freaky, but it was ok once I got going. I was kinda scared about the rocks at the start but it was fine. I started out a little slow cuz there were so many people, but once I got past them i picked it up. I was swimming kinda medium pace along the buoys and when i went around the last one, I picked it up til the finish. I felt pretty good and the lady at the ramp said i was the 3rd girl out. But then a lady passed me while I was running down the pier.
My first transtion was really bad!!! I could not get out of my wetsuit. My foot was stuck and i couldn'y get it out it took like forever. My shoes went on easy.
The bike was the hardest for me. It was long and there were cars and they scared me cuz they were going like really fast. There was gravel on the edge of the road and i didn't want to ride in it cuz i mite fall so i was trying to stay over from it but the people that were passing me didn't say anything so i was scared i was going to run in to them. It was windy too.
The second transition was good. I got outa there fast.
The run was pretty good i felt good the whole way. In the begining i would run the blocks adn walk across the streets. Then i was just running. There was another kid there and he caught up with me when we were at 2.5 so we ran together the rest of the. But he sprinted to the finish line and beat me. Idon't do sprint!
The race was pretty good. My grandpa came and my aunt and two uncles. And i got a pineapple! It was cool. |
