I always tell myself to take it easy on the first run and save some for the bike. But just like the last 2 races the heat of the moment got to me and I went all out. The whole time I'm thinking go hard or go home.

Nothing, what ever I'm doing seems to be working.

I put my bike shoes on first then run to the line and mount. This time I had a hard time getting my shoes done up right because my hands were shaking after that run.

I need triathlon shoes.

I got some clip on areo bars and they seem to help on the flats. But it's not easy getting a comfortable position with them on a road bike.
I also found myself going "one on one" with a few of the athletes that pulled away from me at Guelph Lake 1. Maybe it was the aero bars or maybe it was me but I had my legs.

Get a triathlon bike

Good transition

It seems to take me a few kilometers to get going. In this case it wasn't until km number 4 or 5 until I felt good.

The final run seems to be my week spot. I guess I just need to run more.

Find out my place and lay down under a tree.


My final run and I had some minor cramping in my calves during the bike.


I won my age group,,, YES. I wanted an overall time of 1hr 30mins and just mist out by over a minute

I can't wait for Grimsby and "The Beast" or whatever they call that hill.
