This is my first time blogging thanks to some encouragement
from a new friend Jeff Paul. I am a passionate triathlete, and this will be a
great outlet to share what I’m up to. June 15th was my first time racing in the
Quad Cities Triathlon, and I was aiming for a spot on the podium. As a newer
triathlete, I figured the podium would give me some visibility as I work
towards sponsorships and a professional license. I walked away with 5th place
overall, 1st place Age Group (25-29) and a humbled mindset. I knew the other
athletes were talented, but I hadn't imagined being that far behind.
Despite that, let me share some stats!
4th fastest swim (600 yards in 7:53)
5th fastest bike (23.2mph for 15mi)
3rd fastest run (18:28 5K)
My combined transitions took nearly 3 minutes while the faster athletes
were closer to 2. Overall not bad, but my bike needs more work and it’s time to
learn a flying mount!
Although I was disappointed at falling short, I am even more motivated to train
hard as I approach Muncie 70.3 in 3 weeks. Maximum Effort!
