Greenville Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Had to pass a few people on the turns which took me too far away from where I had to go under the lane line. This took a little bit of time off my swim.

Not much I could do. I think I did rather well considering it was a pool swim.

Still had problems getting my feet into the slip on straps. Next time I'll have bike shoes.

I think I did much better at hills this time around. I stood up and powered up the hills which I have found to be much easier for me than being seated and popping into an easier gear. The coru

I felt pretty good about this ride, the parts I hate most are drinking water and eating gel. I have trouble concentrating on biking while I'm fiddling around with getting the water bottle or wrestling the gel out of my race belt. Still glad I ate the gel though, I felt really good by the end of the bike for the beginning of the run.

Since I didn't get as much water as I would have liked on the bike, I took an extra second or 2 to take a swig. Still no bike shoes so no need to switch shoes at all.

Again, I felt good. MUCH better than my last tri. I felt like I kept a pretty decent pace throughout.

Pick up the pace closer to the end. Sprint harder when I see the finish line.

Walk around drinking water.


Had a great race and a great time! Time to start training again for Dam Tri at the end of September.
They didn't change my group even though I had signed up for my age group. They still entered me as a Clyde. Because of this, I got 2nd place out of the Clydes. I don't feel too badly about it since after the huge dinner I had last night, I did go to bed weighing exactly 200lbs. I'll have to contact someone for my next race though. I should be sub 190 by my next race and really shouldn't be racing Clyde.
