T-Rex Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

This is the first swim where I was able to freestyle the whole thing. I wound up getting trapped behind a group of slower swimmers and doggie paddlers. I'm not crazy about swimming in Kent lake because of the very low visibility. You wind up having to pick your head up way more than usual

I would start just behind the fastest swimmers instead of the back of the pack.

I want to practice having my shoes on the bike already clipped in, because it takes me forever you clip in while biking.

See above

This was my best bike by over 7 minutes. The previous 2 courses I did were very challenging. It's been very windy at my house for the last 3 weeks, so I think biking in that has built up some strength. I was having some minor shifting problems because I had to switch bikes at the last minute and the bike I was on needs some tweaking.

Really, I think I biked up to my fitness level.

There was a bike that the guy next to me had that fell off the rack and was in my way. I think I wasted more time trying to figure out what to do than I did finally racking the bike. That probably cost me a few second. No big deal

Figure out how to leave my shoes on the bike like the good tri people do. I tried it once and almost fell over.

This is my weakest event. I need to really work my running hard for next season. I seem to be stuck at over 10 minute miles. I get passed a lot on the run, that sucks!!

Nothing, I used all I had left in the tank.

walked around, ate pizza and cookies, socialized


I think I performed up to my current fitness level. It was the race I wanted to run as my first one.


Very well organized and very well staffed. Everyone was friendly. I could have used more water on the run. Overall, a very good first event for Running Fit.
