2007 Corpus Christi Triathlon Race Report April 29 2007 1st overall  For several years my family and I have made the four-hour trek to Corpus Christi, Texas in late April for the Corpus Christi Triathlon. We are lucky enough to stay with our very close friend Kathi DeLack, who lives in town. We have so much fun being with her and her teenage kids, and going to the beach before the race. They are brave to let my husband and I invade their home with our four loud children! I really like the Corpus Tri. as an early season tune up and to see what areas of my training need work. Today I got great experience swimming in VERY choppy water! There had been high winds the night before, and the morning of the race seemed even windier. After the gun went off and my wave of athletes ran in the Corpus Bay, we were swimming UP and DOWN, trying to go forward across the 1K out and back course, and avoid gulping a huge mouthful of water. I was having flashbacks of the massive jellyfish I yanked off my neck and face last year during the first half of the swim. I was relieved to get out of the water with no stinging skin, and on to the bike! There was a strong headwind going out on the 30k bike course, but I felt strong and pushed hard. The way back (with the tailwind) was FLAT, FAST, and FUN! I had a quick transition to the run, but when I started running my legs felt rubbery and strange - they just didn’t have any spring. I knew I would have to put in maximum effort to run well today. My mind just focused on having good form, and keeping positive for the whole 5k course. Although my time was several minutes slower than last year’s time, I was happy with the hard work I did! It was good enough for my second win in the women’s race!! Next time my goal is to beat all the men too!2007 Corpus Christi Triathlon Results | ||||||||
