Fall Frenzy Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I was worried about the lingering effects of my bronchitis. My first 200 was awesome, and much faster than I had thought possible.

Should've sat down to put my socks and shoes on...

Other than one clown who drifted to the left, and almost crashed into me while passing him, my ride was excellent! Once I passed him, he tried to stay with me for a little while, about 20 yards back, but when I hit that one tough climb, I hopped out of the saddle and left him WAY behind! I passed a LOT of people, and had no one pass me! This is where I really started feeling that I was over the bronchitis.

I broke my behind the seat water bottle carrier before the start of the race. Fortunately, I brought a gel, some water, and the other half of the carrier held my carb drink. My fuel plan worked well, though I should've drank LESS water and MORE carb drink. There were only 38 other guys faster than I...

I had forgotten my race belt, so I had to take a few moments to pin my number to my suit...

Remember my race belt.

Got passed by about 4 or 5 people, and passed one of them back near the end. This is where I felt physically much better than the last race (bronchitis), but I could tell that my fitness level had dropped off somewhat.

Drank plenty of water, walked and stretched. Took a short, light jog. Talked with Mark Dillard a little bit.


I've lost some fitness due to my extended bronchitis, but overall I'm VERY pleased with this race.


I spent Sat night at Lynn's house, instead of make a LONG drive from my place on Sunday morning. I should've taken more time to pack and check everything before I left for Aurora on Sat.
