Columbia Triathlon 2007

Not bad, PR by about 35 seconds. I was a little disappointed as I wanted to shave off 2-3 minutes. Rained before the race, but that did not slow me down. Weather was perfect really. Sun peeked out during the run only. More flat tires than I had seen in past years.

Race Details - Swim:

This is my 3rd time doing this race and all 3 swims have a 10 sec range. I still can't swim straight either

Race Details - T1:

No big issues, lost spare tube coming out of the Transition area

Race Details - Bike:

Rain has stopped, but ground still wet. Excellent bike leg, my best by about 75 seconds. I am more than ready for aerobars now.

Race Details - T2:

A little slow. Race belt broke and I took an extra few seconds to pound some extra gatorade since I didn't drink enough during the bike.

Race Details - Run:

Not great. Heart rate was fine, but legs were not willing to go any faster. Pace was 8:12 vs. 8:01 last year. Hills did not bother me with the exception of the last one. I forgot how long it was.
