Memorial Hermann Sugar Land Triathlon - Triathlon

A month before the event, I started to learn how to properly freestyle. Had no idea it was so technical.

Was trying to catch my breath from the pool, heh. In the middle of toweling myself off; "what am I doing, there is no need for that...".

Had to borrow a buddy's road bike for this event (first event). This was my third time on a road bike...and the third time riding a bike clipped in. I didn't have a computer at the time, and was not accustomed to the motions of cycling clipped in...so the majority of ride, I was just mashing on the pedals.

Ride with a cadence computer and learn the proper cadence

Was shaking from the bike run, had trouble with my shoe laces!

It felt like I was running really slow; perhaps a GPS watch would be a good investment. I took a handful of walking breaks of < 30 seconds each.

For my first tri, i was happy with the results.


Overall it was a great experience because everyone was so friendly and in good spirits. I thought the event was run very well. Andy himself was at a corner at the biking segments warning riders about a wet spot on an upcoming turn. Kudo's to Andy!
