Wendy's International Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

First open water race. started too strong and ended up average. overall, made it out alive with enough left for the rest of the race.

start slower and keep breathing under control. kick less. it leads to bad calf cramping for the rest of the race.

Wetsuit came off in one motion for both feet. A lot of thought and time spent on something that didn't end up being a problem at all.

Getting into bike shoes way more challenging while rolling than i planned on. ended up cutting my achilles and struggling to get feet on top of shoes.

get triathlon bike shoes. They make 'em for a reason.

Wanted to drink more but felt like I was sacrificing speed to get at the bottle. Drank 3/4 bottle of cytomax.
Could have pushed harder on some stretches. Especially on downhills. use speed to my advantage coming up the other side.

drink the other 1/4 bottle. got dropped by age group winners about half way through. deciding to push myself I could have hung on and bettered my time.

stay in shoes a little longer. keep cranks parallel to ground at dismount so shoes don't drag as bad. Ended up carrying bike over shoulder to rack

still struggling to get my legs back after the bike.

push harder. easier said than done. Although I did sprint the last 1/8th mile because of some competition. so i know i could have done better

Overall pleased for my first Tri. Improved bike pace since my last race (duathlon).
