Dragonfly Triathlon - Triathlon

There was a lot of contact throughout, and I didn't even think to check if the race was going to be wetsuit legal, which it was! So, I don't feel so bad about my time considering most people had wetsuits on.

Check the water temperature!

I was fairly quick, and hopped on my bike pretty swiftly.

The course was so flat I was surprised! It felt good to hold a solid pace; I just wish I had gone harder! On the way out, I felt really good and was passing a lot of people, but I didn't notice that there was a tailwind, which translated to a headwind on the way back in. I can tell that everyone struggled since the averages were slower than last year. It was a fun ride!

I could have pushed harder on the ride out, but I was wanting to go faster on the way back in. Maybe I'm glad I didn't with the headwind, but you never know...

I took a little extra time to wipe the sand off my feet; I really didn't want to get halfway through the run and feel it rubbing.

I loved this run. I started out keeping a solid pace, then headed into the woods and really enjoyed myself. It was hilly, and there were roots everywhere, but I really enjoyed it. The run on the trail was shady and a nice change of pace. I felt great heading back in, the best I've felt finishing a race in awhile. I think if I'd had a challenger for my position, I could've pushed a lot harder at the end, but I'm happy with feeling good.

took the offered cold, wet towel and relaxed in the shade


not having a stupid wetsuit


I loved this race: the course was fun and challenging and everything ran like clockwork.
