Scheels High Cliff Triathlon - Sprint Distance - TriathlonSprint

8th out of 26. Normally i go round the outside but i tried to keep it tight this time. Hard to get around people but worth it. There is alot of wading in this triathlon as well. I love the wetsuit strippers.

Nothing

I really worked hard at this. MY last triathlon was 1 2:48 T1. I know i need to speed it up. So i got Triathlon bike shoes the day before. I planed on no socks and left the shoes clipped on my pedals. I ran out of transistion and started riding with feet on top of my shoes. I need a bit of practice at this and get some bands to keep the shoes upright. But i won T1!! This was my goal for this whole Triathlon. No socks was absoultely fine in these shoes. Also...i kept my race number on under my wetsuit and kept my cycling shirt on too.

Practice with my Triathlon shoes a bit. Race belt under wetusuit worked great!

9th out of 26. Not too bad. I didnt push to hard. I got my feet on top of my shoes way too early.

Got my feet out later

Ok now i need to speed this one up a bit. Ran with no socks. My shoe linner got stuck on my toe

Get zoot running shoes for no sock option

Wow im surprised. It felt alot slower but i came in 6th! I am getting used to this hill now. When i got half way up i walked fast with big steps as i knew this was more efficent then my tiny little running steps that i was taking.

Get better running shoes for no sock option. You sure to feel every thing in your shoe with no socks on.

They had great food this year, Spaeggti and bread sticks, Perkins cookies and Muffins. Free Beer.


This is a tough Triathlon. I wouldnt recomend it for begineers to be honest. I think the Sprint is harder than the Green Bay Olympic distance. I did the half Iron last year and it is brutal! It is one of the harder courses of the year. I really like it though.
