Are you all ready for my favorite sprint tri in the Austin area?

 

Who else will be there this year?

I'll be there.  I swam the course last Saturday for the first time since last year's race and there was hardly any vegetation in the water - as opposed to last year.

I train out there most of the year, and over the winter this year they drained a good portion of the lake and had some sort of tractor that pulled up lots of the vegetation. Its been great to swim in since then.

I love how we get Jacks Generic out there this year too.

I was happy to see the vegetation cleared out. I have done this race every year except for the first one and love the atmosphere. Already signed up for Jack's Generic Intermediate as well.

I'll be there. I've done it every year since it's practically in my backyard. And yes, it is much nicer to swim in the lake now that they've cleared out the vegetation.

Went and did a nice 4 + loops of the course today after work. The water was amazing, but there was a little plant life here and there, nothing like previous years.

When I arrived there were maybe 3 other swimmers out there doing the course, but by the time I was done there had to be at least 8 others.

Were any of you out there? I was in a blue swim cap with a bright orange safe swimmer.

Yeah, there are some fast guys out there. I had an amazing bike, but couldn't get going on the run until mile 2.

I heard they started the waves after me late since the far buoy decided to take off or something. It did seem to be in a strange location when I swam around it.

They got the buoy back in place for me to round in the 40-44 group.  Most, if not all, of the 35-39 only did a rectangle swim around the orange buoys.

The triathlon made a lot of sense as I could fit the training around early mornings and other times that wouldn't eat too much into my family time. Things never go completely to plan do they?

Both the Lake Triathlon Shoe CX210TRI and the Lake Road Shoe CX225 offer distinct advantages. I tested both shoes and found them to be extremely comfortable, good looking and durable.

If you are calm while everyone around you is losing it, you probably don’t know what the hell is going on.
