First Triathlon Experience

Postby Erik » Mon Jun 14, 2010 9:34 pm

Recently I had the pleasure to compete in my very first triathlon in Lake Mills, Wisconsin. Even though it was just a sprint race it was still a lot of work. There was a lot of wind during the swim forcing everyone to swim into the waves which I was not anticipating at all, I wasn't really accustomed to that sort of swimming in competition quite yet. As you all know Wisconsin is said to have a lot of "hilly" roads and to my surprise this was an exception to the statement! The bike course was surprisingly flat with a few rollers here and there but it was quite fast which was nice, even though you had a good amount of wind to work against. The run portion was on Glacial Drumlin Trail which was just a short out and back jaunt that was flat and straight allowing you to haul some serious ass!:) All in all I have to say that it was an experience I will never forget, and I am looking forward to competing in my next triathlon. -Erik Go DI!!!!!

I just caught this post. Awesome on the first triathlon!

I say it's great that you had some adversity (big waves) to overcome in your first tri. It seems like every triathlon there's something to overcome or conquer in order to finish. Thinking back on my races, I don't think I've ever had one that everything just went completely smooth. I guess that's why you keep coming back and doing more, looking for that near-perfect race where everything just fits.

Keep it up! What's your next race?

Way to go Broseph! I'm really glad you like the first one. Now it's time to find another one to train for. See you if you can get 4 or 5 under your belt this year as that will go a long way to helping you prepare for next year's BIG RACE! :0)
