Bluff Creek Triathlon – Race Report (by Bret Petersen) May 25, 2011
Posted by triracers in Race Reports.add a comment
First race of the year, and a better performance than a year ago. Bluff Creek Triathlon is a well organized race with a great course around Don Williams State Park. Good support, good food, and good people; everything you look for in a triathlon. The sprint would be perfect for a first timer if the water temps weren’t so cold. This year I opted in to doing the sprint distance vs. the olympic due to the limited training I was doing. Weather was a slight factor (wind @ 20mph) but the clouds kept the sun from heating things up. In the end I did accomplish one goal of 5th in AG, but didn’t quite make the sub 1:20:00 I was aiming for.
