Wilmington Athletic Club Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I do not like swimming in pools after this race. I lanes where narrow everyyyyyyyyy hard to pass and lost 50 sec and alot of energy to try and pass 3 people. Headed butted in to swimmer coming down the lane trying to pass( friends say it did not look pretty)

I rather put a veryyyyyyyyy slow time to swim last and have the pool to myself . Pick races that have better pool swims.

I was close to the bike start so did not worry about speeding up.Longggg run from the swim and road was rough to run on

Start biking with out socks will save me a minute and practice mounting and pedaling with shoes already on bike

Bike I felt great first lap was in areo position most the way passed 3 people and never saw any behind me. Second lap pushed alittle hard but got worried I would burn my legs out for the run so slowed down and lost momentum and got passed by two people . On Robin Hood a bunch of us bunched together over the speed bum and had to get off my seat to pass three rider so not to get a penalty for drafting and I was the only one on the second lap almost about to finish in that bunch. I was surprised at my time because my bike computer said I finished in 38:45m and distance was 11.89 miles. So alittle confused but oh well I felt great off the bike.

Train more to go all out on the bike and not worry about my legs.

it was hot and I just took my time to get my bike shoes off and get a last squeeze of hammer gel and water and run. Grabbed my had and number belt and was off . I was right by the bike finish and start so had a small run to the run start.

Run with out socks and drink my while on the bike and take a gel on the bike .

Running is my worst part . Just have not build enough endurance yet to run all the way. I have improved my time with every tri I had so far this year. I did enjoy friends passing me encouraging me to keep going THANKS GUYS and the lady 83 I think she took me all the way in to the finish with a full on sprint saying COME ON 100 LETS GOO COME ONNNN ,which helped me out on my time so thank you.

training more on my running with short quick runs to build my endurance and do longer and longer distances. Basically STOP working out and start training.

Just walked around and talked to friends. packed up my stuff and took it to the car.


Slower swimmer because I could have been closer to my goal of 1:19:00 for race and my run


The swim needs to change some how and the bike course needs to be measured again because I spoke to two top finisher and some others and we all had the similar reading on our bike computers for the distance Avg 11.87 . I had fun though and well organized alotttttttt more fun than Azalea Tri a month back and better organized.
