Pre-race routine:

Few events offer an opportunity like the Triple T; lots of racing, a bit of downtime, meeting new people, and a simplistic form with few logistical issues.

for those reading not aware, Triple T is 4 races over 3 days. A super sprint Friday night: 205 m swim, 5 mile bike, 1 mile run. 2 OLY races on Saturday, 1500 M swim, 25 mile bike, 6.55 run in the AM and a 25 mile bike, 1500 M swim and 6.55 M run in the PM. AM starts at 7:30, PM starts at 3:00.

Sunday we all got to wake up and do a HIM.....CRAZY!!

To top it all off, this course is no joke....hilly does not describe it. not only is it hilly, the decents are bad ass. When Triple T says, "SLOW DOWN" you listen......

The biggest challenge, outside of racing of course, was riding the 1 mile up that huge hill back to the cabin after every race—outside of that the weekend just flows—mainly because the organizers allow it to.

I had one main goal coming into Triple T—get stronger against the field throughout the weekend.

The Friday night Prologue was quite simple, go as hard as I can, worry not about pace as 25 minutes of hard wouldn’t throw the rest of the weekend for a loop. Due to my young racing carrier, my best half gave me a seed of 87, which still put me up towards the front, but makes it a tough go for the prologue. Mainly, once you climb the big hill towards the cabins, it’s tricky to pass people on the way down. The reward is not worth the risk passing people on the way down while others are climbing up…not a big loss of time here, maybe 15-30 seconds.

Finished in 23:05, 28th OA solo racer.
