Redondo Beach Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Higher intensity in pool swimming to account for the 20+ BPM I was running for the same splits.
More OWS.

I was so winded from swim, then I had to run up the hill to transition.
I really think that they can add 1/4-1/2 mile to overall distance of Tri for the runs to transition.

I could have shaved a minute with better conditioning and doing nothing differently.

I totally dogged the bike.
By the time that I recovered from the swim, I was scared of the run from my previous Tri.

I ALMOST HIT A 90 YEAR-OLD LADY USING A WALKER TO CROSS COURSE WITH NO VOLUNTEERS IN SIGHT!

Conditioning.
More work on higher cadences, more than one good bike per week.

Still slow due to conditioning

Set-up area more efficiently (need to get there sooner before the space hogs).
Conditioning would have given me 30 seconds to a minute with no additional effort.

This is a PR for my run (even training runs).
On one hand, I really trained my running more.
On the other, I totally took it too easy on the bike.
I felt great at the beginning.Passed over 6, was passed by only 1.
Had some troubles with the stink behind the Chinese seafood place.
at about 1.5 miles, I got a really bad stitch that made it tough to take full breaths. Volunteers and fans really helped me finish, Thanks!

Not taken the bike out so easily.
Keep working my running.
Keep practicing shorter strides and higher cadences.

2-300 yard walk with good stretch.
Walked area with my son.
Played on beach with son.


Overall conditioning.
SLOW transitions.
Poor bike prep.
Need more OWS experience.


It is Redondo Beach.
I liked the long swim.
They need more volunteers on the bike course!

This is my second Tri, so I can be more critical than "I survived".

I learned that, although I am a good pool swimmer, I need more OWS.
I need more bike TITS.
Keep working on my running and overall conditioning.


*Note: I could not see my name on the overall results (because I raced as clyde?) My Overall result is based on where my time would have fallen.

My next goal is to go from the 33-34th percentile to being in the 60-70th percentile.
