Lake Chaparral - Triathlon

Overall felt good. First 200m drafted and swam in the group but after the first buoy it was a solo swim. The buoys were hard to see.

Swim straight!
Do bi-lateral breathing, kept reverting to my comfortable side.
Use googles with a darker tint.

T1 time is approximate

Do not put jels in my bike shoes.

Not many people to pass until loop #4, so it was hard to pace myself.
#4 hill was the hardest. 5 loops in total.

Work more on the hills. Pay attention to my body position.

T2 time is approximate

Stalled a bit.

Stopped twice because of the sore foot.
First loop was very bricky, some side stitches.
Second loop felt good for energy.

More brick training.

Not straight on the swim. Sore neuroma on the run.

This was my first Olympic. To my surprise, my energy levels were good all the way to the end. I will fix the foot neuroma and do better next time.


Not as organized as during the previous years but still a nice race.
