UC Davis Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

No time for warmup.
1st lap good, handled the crowd but went too fast got out of breath.
So on 2nd lap got very out of breath, had to breast, side and back stroke for a while, lost alot of time. Belly too full from breakfast, took in a lot of water. Also stayed too close to edge of pool entire time, didn't cut inner route well enough, added lots of time for that as well. Unable to complete full 750yds.
Didn't hear the time bell, kept swimming, had to be tapped by lifeguard to get out.

Slower 1st lap for warmup, get pace.
Get head out of water to spot placement in pool, stay towards inner edge of circuit.

way too much time on T1 - spent time drying off, unzipping sleeves from vest, difficulty getting gloves on wet hands, getting socks on, neoprene booties, leggings, sleeves, etc.

not bother drying off (it was raining anyway). have sleeves pre-unzipped. trying biking with no socks. Practice T1 at home.

Wicked headwind, then tailwind.
Averaged 12.1mph on way out then 25+mph on way back.
Seat not right height, had to stop a few times at start to readjust it.
Off & on cold rain was brutal.
Feet went numb.
drank only once. belly still off from breakfast

thumbs were numb, difficulty removing booties and shoes and tying sneakers.



get quick tie laces for running shoes.

felt goo overall. feet numb. ran with other guy, Paul, same age. Good pace the whole way, helpful to run with partner.
