Felt like a really long swim, but it was faster than my Oly at BH.

Try to draft more.

Hips were pretty sore at the 30k mark. Right IT band was tingly.

Nothing. This wasn't my A race, but was still working hard.

Had a bit of trouble getting my runners on. I think that's because my feet never totally dried on the bike ride. No socks for me today.

Dry my feet off a bit more before trying to jam them into my shoes.

Was feeling pretty nauseous when I started the run and I really had to pee. Thankfully, the first part of the run is in the bush along the river, so I was able to find a spot to relieve some of the pressure in my bladder. Stomach settled after that. Also battled a side stitch and calf cramps. This was all in the first loop.
Second loop was a lot better as I was finally able to settle into a rhythm and no longer felt sick. Forced myself to take in some water along the route. I was disappointed that my run was a little slower than at BH.

Not jam as much "nutrition" into my stomach towards the end of the bike.

Ate some food, started packing up my gear.


The fact that this race was a tune up for the big one next weekend. Didn't push 100% today, but I wasn't exactly slacking either.


I really enjoy doing Pinawa. It is where I did my first triathlon.
I won a prize in a random draw - water bottle, bike tube, mosquito wipes, and a Cateye computer for my bike.
I was happy to beat my time from BH.
