2024 MPCS Triathlon

Great time at the MPCS triathlon last weekend. Swam 200Y in 3:20, Biked 8M at 20.0 mph and ran 2M in 8:19 pace. Swim started nice and quick enough. Good T1 I felt going into the bike. This bike course always challenges me due to the mild ascents, bumpy roads and multiple turns. All of these eat up speed and something new I learned today is that it's more about the energy expended accelerating the bike back up to speed coming off turns that makes it fatiguing. Right calf started to cramp a little bit towards the end of the bike and I knew I needed to throw down some Hot shots (TRP channel agonist) during the run. And just as experience has revealed in the past, both calves started to flicker as well as the right hamstring early during the run, but the Hot shots worked phenomenally at preventing it from ever becoming a cramp and I was able to run full speed most of the way. Ran the first mile in 9:03, which was not what I was aiming for, but I ended up nicely negative splitting the second mile in 7:44! Very pleased with my overall (15/181) and age-group (4/26) placements. I forgot how intense this race can be due to the short course nature of it, which sets up for a higher intensity effort. Felt the heat wasn't a big factor today, but I also used my ice cap so either it wasn't as hot or it was and the ice cap made it feel cooler. Either way, it never hurts wearing it because it does help me run faster in the heat.
