Hammonton Recreation Department Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I was very happy with how I felt in the swim. Much more comfortable than last time.

I could push harder.

Didn't really try to hurry here, so I'm okay with this time.

Get the wetsuit off more quickly.

I wanted to get at least 18 mph, so I'm happy with the bike. I think the distance was a little longer than 12, according to the Garmin anyway, and thought that I had a pace of 19.7 from that. Oh well. It was still a good ride. I passed a ton of people and only a few guys who were obviously very fast bikers and didn't swim so fast passed me.

I could still have pushed harder.

I actually paused for a moment with everything on to make sure I was all set before I left, so I'm happy with this time, even though it is slow.

Keep moving.

Good run. I kept Fred in my sights and used that to try to keep an easy, steady pace. I just kind of gradually caught up to him in the last mile, so quickened a bit to get past him. He was sweating so hard I almost slipped going by. ;-)

Well, my plan was to take it easy on the run and I did so.

They ran out of water at the finish line so I only got two cups. I walked a bit (less than I like to) and stretched some. Then I ate a sandwich, a banana, a bagel with peanut butter, another banana and a pretzel and had a few cups of Gatorade.


Nothing. I didn't go all out on the swim or run; maybe close to it on the bike, or at least close to what I thought I should with a run to come.


A nice sprint. I'll do it again.
