Camp Pendleton Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Not one of my better swims. There was a lot of chop heading out to the first buoy, not very big waves just continuous. Had some trouble relaxing and getting into a rhythm. Felt out of breath, tight in the wetsuit and uncomfortable the entire swim. This is usually my best event of the three but I really stuggled today.

Did not get a split for T1, was trying to recover from the long run on the beach and calm down for the bike.

Had a tough ride. Just could not get comfortable and settled the entire ride. Legs felt tight and I was tired.

No split for T2

I did my best to start off slow and easy hoping to turn it up on the second half. The first quarter mile was all uphill which did not suit me well. I was just slow the whole run, had to walk a couple of times to jjust get relaxed. As I approached the finish area I was able to speed up some and finish strong.

Easy walk, eat and drink some/


This has been a really tough summer for training. I have been so busy with school and Evan that I find it hard to get in the training I should. I guess I should be pleased with finishing under the circumstances but I am pretty hard on myself and know I should have performed better. I also really underestimated this race, thought it would be easier.


The folks at Camp Pendleton put on a great race. The volunteers were really supportive and friendly. Would do this race again.
