Waterman's Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

The swim went well until after the second to last buoy. I was swimming toward the last buoy and had a good line, but I noticed a bunch of people to my left, and I was afraid I had missed a buoy. I stopped and treaded water, and got my bearings, and I was going the correct way, the other people were just way off course. I should have just trusted myself, and not stopped.

I think the swim must have been longer than 750 meters too, or otherwise that was a pretty slow pace.

The roads were wet, so I took some of the corners a little bit slower, but not too much. Thankfully I had ridden in the rain twice last week, so I had good practice in wet conditions.

I had a dumb brain fart. I stood there and put my race belt on before putting on my running shoes. Normally I put on the running shoes, and then grab the race belt and put it on while running. My time should have been under a minute.

At the beginning of the run, I had little gravels in my shoes that had been stuck to my feet, but thankfully they seemed to shift position after the first quarter mile or so, and didn't bother me after that.

They had plenty of drink stations, but I didn't stop at any. Seemed like kind of a waste of time on such a short race.

Mile splits:
1. 7:16
2. 6:43
3. 6:19

Very good race. Well organized, and lots of volunteers. The weather kind of put a damper on the atmosphere, but it was still fun.
