White Lake Sprint Triathlon - Triathlon

1. First Open water swim. Some how ended up in the mild of the second wave on the start and got pushed around and hit in the face a couple of times.
2. Happy I didn't panic.
3. Had trouble staying in a rhythm with sighting and being hit
4. Wet suit seemed a little restrictive
5. overall just a minute slower than I expected, and I was happy with that

1. Would try to position my self more to the side.
2. Work on open water swimming. Especially sighting
3. Sleeveless wet suit

1. Was able to get wet suit down and off pretty easy
2. Drank some Gatorade, and had a gel
3. Shoes and sock on, and a dry T-shirt
4. Helmet glasses and glooves

1. Invest in a trisuit.
2. Practice transition
3. Try keeping shoes on bike.

Felt dehydrated toward end.
Thought I was moving pretty good, but was getting passed like I was standing still
No sunscreen got burnt.

1. Drink more in first lap.
2. Add a second water bottle to the bike
3. Thought my bike was improving but still pretty weak. Need to get more bike days in.

Trouble getting feet out.
Drank more. Another gel. Left feeling bloated.
Changed my shirt.

1. Need to meter water intake and nutrition.
2. Invest in a trisuit, and a number belt. I had one of the slowest transition times

Ran walked the first 2 miles. Had to stretch. Didn't save enough for the run. Five minutes slower than my last Sprint Tri 5K

1. Work on bike run transition
2. Work on race day nutrition and hydration plan as weather warms up.

Poor hydration and nutrition planning. Became more important as the weather got warmer.

Stopped using a training plan after I completed my 20 week and have just been doing workouts. I did not do any bricks leading up to the race and overall it showed.


Great volunteers. Typical well organized Setup Event.
Good spectating areas for family
