All in all a good swim. A bit on the slow side, but I was trying to hold a bit back since it was my first Olympic distance triathlon and I didn't want to gas out later. Managed to get into a well paced group for drafting and stayed close enough with the lead 2 or 3 of that group to pass them all at the end.

Go all out! I would have been fine.

Surprissed to see I ranked 13th in T1! Historically I suck at transitions, so this is a real boost. Doing a few of these races has made me calmer and more methodical in transition.

Gotta get some tri shoes for the bike and do the jump.

This marks the first time I averaged over 30 kph in a triathlon. I'm happy with the time, but all the same I see where I can improve. The bike is surely my weak suit and it HAS to improve between now and next season.

Trai, train, train.

Wow! I kept the transition train rolling into T2. Time was good enough for 11th! Momma, this makes me happy.

Felt strong throughout this run. I've easily improved most in this discipline this year. I may not be a whole lot faster, but my comfort level is, well, on a whole different level. I managed to pass many people and only got passed by two guys who were obviously very serious and in a heated battle.

Not sure, train even more I guess.

Both calves and shins were threatening to cramp after the line so I stretched em out.


Training of course.


I really enjoyed this race! Mmmmm pizza and chips! Now that's a good post race meal, forget this muffin and smoothie shit.
