Frank Dunn Triathlon 2023 - 🥉place OA female 🎉

This may have been my last triathlon. I’ve been feeling a pull away from the sport after being in it for 20 years, and the need to move on to other things. I can look back and be happy with what I have achieved, and am proud of my PB’s over each distance, podiums, longevity in the sport and the personal accomplishments I have had over the years. I can pass the torch on to my daughters and I’m excited for their future in sport ☺️🏊‍♀️🚴🏃🏼‍♀️

I had a really great race on Sunday, so I’m thrilled to finish on a positive note. I think I got all that I possibly could get out of myself during the race, and had a smile on my face the whole 13km run. This event has a great vibe, and every single athlete was encouraging everyone else out there on the course. TBH I was not expecting to swim well or run well, but ended up surprising myself. My swim went great and was faster than last year, the water was rough and wavy and I swam with a pack of 4-6 of us the whole time and came out of the water 5th OA and 2nd female (21:58 for the 1500m). The bike was solid, and I got a course PR from last year of about 2.5min over 62km (1:47 this year). Came off the bike in 3rd female. My run legs felt decent the whole out and back and I maintained a positive mindset and good headspace the whole run, which is a win for me 😊 Although my run split was slightly slower than last year’s it was better than I was expecting and I felt I was running well. Finished in 3:16 which was an almost 3min course PR over last year and pleased with my day!

What’s in store for me next? That’s up in the air, but Zwift ZRL race season is upon us again in September so I’ll focus on that over the fall and winter. Next summer I might plan to do a couple local gran fondo 🚴‍♀️ events, and maybe an ultra open water swim race. I would love to get into some cycling road racing but have to look more into what is required and how to get involved. Tons of options and I feel very excited about it, and not sad to be moving on so I know the time is right 🩷

This week has absolutely kicked my butt, but turns out lifting heavy things helps. 💪🏼😅 A little strength training therapy to start the day.

After a drop back week, I did some low Z2 rides to get back into things this weekend 🚴🏼‍♀️ also I just realized yesterday my virtual cog was set at 7 😳 my chain has been grinding and noisy for quite some time now and I didn’t even think to check the cog 😭 flipped it to position 1 and now it is so smooth and almost silent. Not sure how long it’s been like that (months, probably ☠️)

Starting the week off right with a 6am weights workout during the kids’ swim practice. Lots of 5am alarms lately (and 4:45 on Wednesdays) 🏋🏼‍♀️ are you even awake before you’ve had any coffee? Clearly I’m not 😴
