NRC Nampa Recreation Center Indoor Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Was in the lane next to the fastest swimmer - had to focus on keeping my own pace. Felt a bit amped up, so my heart rate probably wasn't great. Turns weren't perfect either, but not bad. It was my fastest half mile by :20.

Do more speed work in training.

Only had to put on socks/shoes (quick laces) - rest was on bike.

Nothing.

Didn't push too hard at the start, decent effort for middle ~:20. The last mile everyone was telling me to push it because I easily could have taken the lead in the race - but I backed way off to get my heart rate down - learned in previous races that if I don't, I get a nasty side ache in the run.

I could have pushed harder at the beginning as long as I back off toward the end - could have gained maybe another :45.

Straight to track.

No side ache! Finally! Tried hard to not take off too quick and then find a steady pace. Was hard to tell where everyone was at position-wise since you can't tell when everyone gets off the bike. So the whole run I thought the guy ahead of me was a lap behind - turns out he was actually on my lap and therefore just ahead of me - had I know that I would have tried to catch him toward the end. Good kick to finish.

Ask someone to keep track of what position I'm in and keep me posted. Run more in training (couldn't because my knee was hurt for 3 months).

1 lap walk, some stretching


3 months of sickness and a hurt knee from Oct-Jan. - couldn't train very well. Also, travel made it tough to get in the pool.


This was my third time doing this race and it was great as always! Great organizers & volunteers, fun environment, great shirt & goodies bag. I'll do this race every year I'm able. This was a fast group this year - the top six finishers all beat last year's winning time.
