Was a really good swim for me with the exception of sucking in water twice. I am sure the Lifeguards at the pool thought I was going down as I stopped to cough, but was able to get back in groove and go. 250 yard run to T1 added much to my time. I felt like I was cruising and almost caught the guy in front of me despite his 50m head start.

not swallow water, run harder to T1.

I had one of the slower T1 times. Seemed like it took me alot of time and it did, could not get helmet done up, slow with shoes, and fumbled getting into peddles.

Be more efficient

Was pretty winded until I was a mile in. Then kind of got in a groove that felt good. Feeling good I upped the gear to go a little faster and it was not a problem. Started sweating during the ride, and as some drips started to come down I was wondering if I was going too hard, but I felt good. This was unusual since I normally do not sweat much during my training rides. I went with it and it worked out. My glasses fogged at the start and since it was overcast and foggy I ended wearing my glasses on my nose the whole ride. Had bugs in eyes which sucked big time. Was not sure if I was skilled enough to take them off and clean them so on the nose they stayed. Did I mention the rough roads??? Ride was still good despite these small pains. Drank Gatorade from water bottle during the ride. Was able to finish it in about 8 drinks during the ride which felt like the right amount. No sloshy feeling like the last race and hydration was good. No food or gu's since race was so short.

Good ride, pasted about 10 people and got passed by only one. He ended up being the overall winner. THe rough roads made it a bit harder and should have been faster. Wind also slowed me a little.

Figure out why glasses fogged and maybe use antifog spray to eliminate bugs in eyes.

Was again pretty slow, but took time to put on socks thankfully os no blisters like last race. Had 50 yard run with bike to racks and ran wrong way out of T2. Thankfully one of the volunteers yelled at me and only went about 10 yds.

Better dismount, go correct direction out T area

Ended up being better than I thought it was and was 30 sec /m faster than 3 weeks ago. Flet liek it was worse, and could not get in a groove the whole run. Pretty frustrated by the time I made it to the finish. Tried to run hard last 1/4 mile but had nothing left so I just strided it home. Got passed by a few of the good girls and found myself "watching" them run rather than focusing on my own run.

train more in the run, figure out way to get into groove better, not stare at girls like an old perve.

Walked around a little and drink a coule of water. Went to finish line to cheer in the other runners. Figured I should do it here since normally I am not the one finishing towards the front. Chatted a few folks up while we waited on people to come in. Really enjoyed the warm down. Went and had food and watched award ceremony. HAd no idea I won until they called my name since when the times were posted right after race my name was not on ANY list. Small cpu glitch caused this but they fixed. I also had forgotten my watch and did not look at clock when I crossed. I was really beginning to wonder, btu ended up with hardware. Yea me!!!


run training


I only say too easy because the swim was short. However there seemed like there were as many volunteers as there racers. They could have used more drink stations on the run, there was only one which was the same one that was on the bike. Very organized and lots of food, music, and support after the race. I had a good time. I will most likely do another fatrabbit race again based on this event.
