Medal Monday! @jdel_runnermom ・・・ 🏅MEDAL Monday!🏅 Another one done!✔️My 2nd triathlon and 1st Olympic distance tri completed yesterday. ------------------------------------------------------ SWIM: I started getting comfortable with about 200m left😂. The water was very warm...around 82. Not a good swim for me at all. However, not entirely unexpected because I haven't been swimming much since Mont Tremblant. I did swim without a wetsuit, so I'm proud of that aspect. The positive 👉🏼 now I have something to work on. 36:31 🏊🏼😔 ------------------------------------------------------ BIKE: Felt fantastic! Flat course with a decent amount of turns. But, a 20 mile ride? I don't know exactly what happened there as we were expecting a longer distance. There is also discrepancy on the pace on the results site since it's based on OLY distance. Maybe @cgiracing wants to fix this? Regardless, fastest ride for me and felt really good. 20 miles / 1:01:46 / 19.4mph. 🚴🏼 ---------------------------------------------------- RUN: We ran on the surface of the sun☀️🔥 93 degrees with a real feel of 102🙀 Dumped water on myself at every station. It was hard and there were times I needed to slow down because my HR was climbing --but happy with the result and how I felt overall. I found a guy who had a nice pace going and we stuck together for the majority of the run keeping an even pace throughout. I even got to see some friends along the run course, which is always great and a motivation booster to keep going! 10K / 51:16 / 8:16mm 🏃🏻 --------------------------------------------------- Special thanks to @themermaidclub and @wattieink for this beautiful kit!💚💦👌🏼 ---------------------------------------------------- Overall- 2:36:07, a great time with friends and a kick-ass medal!🏅 NEXT🆙 👉🏼 Ironman 70.3 Atlantic City! #njstatetri #livelifemakewaves #rocktheW #medalmonday

I took advantage of the dry roads today, and went out with Lotus 💕. I did forget the winter socks/shoe covers so my toes got cold, otherwise it was nice in the 30s, but they lied. I never seen the sun? 😍🚴🏽‍♀️. I was happy I packed my thermos of hot java for post ride. . . . . . . . #NJTriBR #bibchat #NJStateTri #Ridemoredomore #TriDot #ironman #IM703NC #NauticaBR #triathlontraining #bike #bikelife #bikemore #womenscycling #pearlizumi #wintercycling #trekbikes #endureandenjoy #ironmanfoundation #IMF #halfironmantraining #2019goals #nuunlife #HShive #bocogear #optoutside #outdoorwomen #beatyesterday #garmin935 #resultsstarthere https://www.instagram.com/p/Bste934BqON/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yqbxi0d7s5j8

New Jersey State Triathlon Training

Living in Massachusetts makes Triathlon tough in the winter months.  I joined my local YMCA in Feb. to start swimming in the pool, since its been years since I’ve been swimming.  I jump in the water to cool off and play, but never had any swim lessons or group swim workouts.  Since I’m just starting out I’ve been going in the mornings and working on my breathing, kicking and taking suggestions from the life guards.  I have to say I’m not one for the chlorine, and look forward to warmer temps, to go into the open water.

Outdoor cycling is also a challenge, but I’m fortunate to teach spin classes, and cross-training helps with the cardiovascular and muscle endurance.  I’m more cautious on the roads in Massachusetts, as its really not very bike friendly, so I tend to ride mostly on trails and the paved rail trails.  I love heading south to Rhode Island on the Providence Bike Path along the ocean.

Running I have down, as for me its the easiest.  I can run anywhere and just put on my shoes and I’m off, so I’m comfortable with my training miles in that category.  But, it is the final leg of 2 somewhat new workouts for me.  There’s so much to pack and prepare for, when there’s 3 disciplines.  I usually like to go very light, but I made a Triathlon check list, as there’s so much.

If you have any suggestions, I’m open for all easy and quick ways to make transitions and packing easy.

I’m thankful for the opportunities BibRave gives me to participate and review races and especially the New Jersey State Triathlon, as I would have never heard of it, or registered.  Its a great push for me, to start my Triathlon experiences.  I love to do something challenging and out of my comfort zone each year, and this is the year of Triathlons.

Join my on my Triathlon Journey!

New Jersey State Sprint Report

Well, for the second time this year the weather altered a race. At least at TriRock Philly, I got to finish! Anyway, here we go. After the traffic experience going to Ironman Princeton last year, I made sure I was definitely on time to Mercer Lake Park for the NJ State. Unfortunately, there was no traffic which meant i was one of the first people there, even before transition opened. Checked in, got set up and waited. And waited for seemingly hours. When it came time for my swim wave, entered the water with the rest of the age group and started swimming. I am assuming Mercer lake must be man made as it was fairly clear with good visibility. Sluggish swim, mostly due to tiredness that set in and swimmers in front going slowly/on their back/breast stroke/or not at all. Finished the swim feeling relatively good and had a very fast 3 minute transition (for me) and got on the bike. 

Immediately on the bike the skies started to look real mean. Very dark for 8am or so, so dark that I needed to take off my sunglasses to see. At this point, I am thinking this could be a problem as I started to look for places to take shelter in the event of lightning. After several scary minutes the skies began to lighten up but then the rain started. Not just drizzle, we are talking downpour. I was soaked, water was draining out of my shoes soaked. Visibility turned to shit and had to slow down to about 17 mph average, At this point, I am thinking there is nothing I can do about the rain but at least it isn’t lightening. Headed back into the park and into transition, i notice a large amount of people...uh .leaving. And then people saying “slow down, its over”. Shit. Shit Shit Shit.Arrive at the bike dismount, pretty disappointed but since lightning is now crackling across the sky, figure its for the best. Head into transition, grab an undeserved finisher medal (but I would have finished so whatever), packed my soaked gear and headed to the car. all in all a sucky day but I will be back as i must finish this.
