I never would have guessed that I pr'd this swim when I got out of the water. At the first wall I punched (accidentally of coarse) the girl in front of me in the head...a couple laps later I got kicked...I kept bumping into the wall...my garmin wrist band fell off half way through the swim.

Here's where it all went right. After the first 75 a fast swimmer with a strong kick passed me. I pushed to get on her feet and for the rest of the swim I did whatever I could to just hold on. When I got out of the water and looked at the clock I was amped!! This gave me an extra boost on the bike and run for sure!!

Nothing...I knocked a munite off my last PR and 2 minutes off of my estimated time!!

I still have a lot of improvement to make in the water.

I had the fastest T1 time of the day!!!!!!!!



Nothing

Rode this exactly as I planned...start out 90%, after 4 miles go 110%, then just hammer whatever I have left for the last 4.

Maybe stand up and pushed harder up the short steep climbs...I didn't because I thought it would kill my legs for the run.

I need to do more intervals at this race pace.

My left foot didnt want to go in the shoe.

More lube in the shoes definately!

2nd fastest T2 of the day but I should have been out in 30 seconds!

My plan was to keep my pace under 7min miles and push hard after the half way mark. I started out and was able to hold a 6:30ish pace for the first .5 mile. Then at mile one my mind started wondering if I would die or pass out or whatever...so I unzipped my tri suit and took in a big breath, told my head to shut up and picked up the pace. I kept the pace between 630 and 7 until mile 2.5 then I opened it up and tried to stay close to 6 and on the track for the finish I sprinted to finish strong.

This was, to date, the best 5k off the bike that I have run...I'm stoked with my perfomance.

More speed work needed definately.

2 mile run, walked around, ate some food.


I was beat in the pool and the run. Need to keep working on these.


This is one of the best organized triathlons I have attended!!

I love these little races to build confidence for the harder races coming up. There will be more competition at the bigger races so I will have to push even harder to get results like this. I'm looking forward to a great year with many new PR's.
