Lake Mills Sprint

Race Site

10 Month of no triathlons came to an end on Sunday. Last triathlon I did was Pigman half in August.  I decided to do the Lake Mills Sprint, last minute on Friday night.

Boy was I glad I decided to race!

-Was great to get a race in before High Cliff next weekend

-Finished my first Sprint triathlon which was a great experience “Challenging race distance when your not used to it”

-It was GREAT seeing so many local athletes after the race, it was like everyplace I turned it was a new face I have not seen in a while.

-After the race went out to lunch with 2 good friends, my Parents and girlfriend

-Following that I got to relax in the pool with my girlfriend all afternoon and finished up the day with a nice long bike ride.

That my friends = One great day!

I ended up taking 2^nd behind Will S which I was happy with. I had a solid week of training leading into the race and a long run on Saturday so Sunday was planned to be a solid workout/race. Swim was fine nothing to exciting, bike was painful “16miles is usually a warm up not a race for me,” run felt great and under control.  The race got me really excited to get the triathlon season underway!

Congrats to all my racing friends who did the race including many of the Master Swimmer I coach and Thanks to Race Day Events for putting on a fabulous race.
