Below are some photos from this last weekend's West Point Lake Triathlon that my wife took. As I have mentioned before, I did the Olympic, or International, distance. They also had a sprint distance competition going on simultaneously. It was a hard day, and it was the sorest I had been following an event since the Country Music Marathon...but I did it.
The swim was 1.5K, or .93 miles. It was very hard to pick a good line. I probably swam more like 1.5 miles with all the
zig-
zagging.
Coming out of T1 onto the bike leg of the event. I felt pretty good and was in & out of the transition area in 1:17.
I felt good on the bike. I averaged more like 19.5 mph, but this was cut down to 17.9 officially because my chain popped off twice.
"Now, where do I park this thing?"
Lost in a see of aluminum, rubber, and carbon. I had a very good T2, getting in and out in :47 seconds.
The run was pretty tough. I only stopped to walk for a second while getting some water near the half-way point. It was a pretty flat run, except for one big hill at about mile 4.
