Bonelli Olympic Distance Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

Good swim. Took some time to get a lane and I felt uncomfortable until so. Once I found a spot, I was able to get into a rhythm and swam well. Really looking forward to when my bike and run catches up to my swim performance.

Nothing.

One of my best T1 tries yet.

Just speed everything up. Was pretty organized and calm.

Was tired and uncomfortable most of the first lap. Many people were passing me like I was barely moving which dropped my confidence some. Did better on the next 2 laps but still felt slow on the bike.

I need to get faster, although this is not all that bad for only 10 months of riding.

Good T2 also

Speed it up.

Not much I can say here that would be positive. I probably had to walk about a third of the course. I was just tired and mentally broken down. Chest felt really tight the entire run so I wonder if I was somewhat affected by the smog. My goal in the race was to finish and hopefully complete the run without having to walk. Oh well.

I need more running base!

Long walk, drink some water.


Tired, just not fast yet. Was my first Olympic distance race so I am quite happy I finished and not in last.


This race was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I think I underestimated it. I have been training for less then a year and thought I would have no trouble but that was not the case. I am excited to do another now that I know what to expect and what I need to work on. I am proud of myself for finishing!

A couple of comments about the race. First of all there was no food or drink for the finishers and the goodie-bag was not very good. These are petty comments but worth mentioning
