On August 10, 2014 I raced Sprint Triathlon in North Park. This is only
few minutes from my home and back in 2011 this was my first ever
triathlon race (photos here).
In 2013 I took first place in my age group (race report), so in this race I was defending my title sort of speak.
This year I won again in my 40-44 age group (19 participants) and went faster than the all competitors from age group 0 to 44, except for the overall competitors. I was 9th overall out of 233 competitors. The official results can be found here: http://www.runhigh.com/2014RESULTS/R081014AC.html.
Here is the comparison of 2014 results to 2013 and 2011 races:
I am happy with the result, however swim and run are slower compared to 2013 - not really sure why is that so. I sure hope this is because conditions were different and not because I got slower :-).
As always - major thing that needs improvement is the control of pre-race anxiety. I could not get any sleep the night before the race. I may have slept for about 30 minutes total - same as last year...
