This was my first tri and i wasn't able to get into a pool to get a swime in to find out how slow i am. I thought a 10 to 11 min swim would be close so my 9 min was a great surprise for me. I was cought behind multable people that were slower then ma. And i believe i swallowed 1/2 the pool.

more training

Got stuck putting on long sleave t-shirt. It was cold out.

do a dry run or two.

time includes transition. Ride was good. It was slower then i was expecting. I passed the transition enterence. This rookie needed a sign and arrow. Me and my iron horse(steel frame 18 year old mtn bike) passed a hand full of $2000 tri bikes. That was encouraging.

walk my transition lanes to get comfertable with the area.

Felt good to over take two runners in my age group w/ my shetlen pony legs. I felt good and had more in the tank at the end. Had a good longer then normal kick at the end.

not much. Train w/ a more all around running training program.

stretch. Felt some shin splints and tightening in my calfs


a job.


Need sings of were to enter the transition for roockies like me. Would like the transintion time seperat. This was my first tri ever and i had a great time and had helpfull, friendly people out there helping. Thanks
