Black Diamond Tri

Black Diamond Sprint tri

Decent race but the run was a bit tough, on rocky trail.
My first masters loss this season in the NW race series of 8 races I've done. But, dont really feel that strong since ITU a couple of weeks ago.

So, I was passed while in third overall by a master, who had the fastest run of the day and just couldnt go with him. A bit burnt out and not so sharp on the run these days. Happy with the second fastest overall bike split behind the winner, although my power on the bike was 10 watts lower than in my prior two sprints, and, 2-3 watts lower than my olympic distance bike splits. So, yeah, still tired.

So, now a month until Kona. I am starting to think about it a little but not too much. Just need to rest up for 3-4 more days, then a big weekend, 2 more weeks...then I'll start thinking about it.

This weekend, planned 60 mile ride on hills, followed by an 18 mile run will be the longest workout of my season other then the ITU and IM races I've done. Hopefully, I will bounce back to have a strong week following, then bounce back for Kona.

Good write up on coach Olaf from slow twitch.
