Desert Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I started near the back and passed alot of people on the first leg. A little jam up at the first buoy. After the first buoy it was pretty much clear and open swimming. I swam until my hands touched bottom and ran to the transition area.

Swim a bit faster, I had plenty left when I came out of the water. My practice pace is fater.

I fell at the mounting line.

Get more momentum before mounting. I should have clipped my left foot in first because the left first works best for me.
I'm going to practice feet on top of shoes method for my next race.

I held back some on the bike. I also got hemmed in a couple of times due to heavy congestion.

I need to train more and harder on the bike. I really need improvement on the bike leg.

Not too bad but I need practice and improvement in this area.

I'm going to try both mounting and dismounting with feet on top of shoes. I'm sure if I practice this method it will improve my time.

Really not a bad run for me.

I should have opened up a bit earlier and harder. I still need to do more bike to run work-outs.

Walked for a few minutes, then rested about 10 minutes. After resting I stretched.


I need more speed sessions. I must not fall off my bike again. I need more practice on transitions. I need a better mounting and dismounting technique. I need to do more bike to run sessions.


I beat last years time by 5 minutes.
I love this race and hope to be back next year. I might even try the Olympic.
I burnt 1547 calories.

Not bad for an old man!
