Tri the Parks, High Falls - TriathlonSprint

Was last out of the water for the masters clydes. Made a strategy error putting myself in the thick of things with the shortest tangent. Never got into a rhtyhm, and was never able to get my face in the water for more than 6 strokes.

SHould've waited or went outside/inside and worked back so to get a rhythm. SHould've warmed up more in the water.

Tried the bucket to counteract the dizziness and that helped but still wobbled a bit. Bike shoes without socks helped.

Perhaps try some ear plugs in training?

This was my strength. Even with a couple obstacles (see below), I rocked it. I did take a few breathers during but probably could've pushed through them better.

Be careful not to get stuck behind 1. cars coming out of the park at the start (arseholes!) and 2. the wheel chair guy passing on the left.

DO NOT LET UP AT ALL THE WHOLE SPRINT BIKE.

Pretty solid transition. No socks helped.

Make sure race bib is on good because I nearly ripped it off my belt

Look into changing shoes on bike.

Wore myself out again on the bike and that took a toll on my run time, but 2035 on little to no run training is pretty solid for a somewhat challenging course and weather profile.

Train more on hills and get this ITBS under control so I can get back into the low 19's and high 18s.

.5 mile run right after

then 30 minute TeamEC spin


Lousy swim segment due to bad strategy and limited experience in mass starts. Also, not being able to train more running wise due to ITBS.


Highlights were meeting alltom1 and hanging with my TeamEC. Also wearing the new TeamEC kit was cool.

Saw my first bike crash and it was nasty (during my warm down).
