Carrollton Triathlon Championship - TriathlonSprint

Time is just an estimate, but this was the best navigation job I've ever done in a tri. I was able to comfortably see all the buoys without having to slow down much.

Nothing really - we caught the slower guys from the first wave right at the first buoy which was really the only traffic I had to contend with. this race provides much more room to swim than most.

Again, just an estimate on the time. I didn't have any realy problem with this T1. It was a pretty good distance from the lake to the bike racks, so time for T1/swim would vary depending on where timing maps were placed.

Had a little bit of trouble clipping in, but didn't really lose any time over it.

First three miles were tough - I was huffing on a couple of the hills. I still get passed by way too many people on the bike. I didn't count them, but there were plenty - maybe 25 or so? I passed a few people, but not nearly as many as passed me.

Still have the problem of not enough hill training. All that being said, 18.5 MPH is pretty fast for me.

Another estimate on time - but it felt pretty good.

Nothing

I passed quite a few people on the run and wasn't passed by anyone, so I was happy with that. I did get out-sprinted up the hill. I passed a guy right at the last turn (he sort of waved me around him) and then he started sprinting and we were both in an all-out sprint the entire way up the hill. It hurt a lot and he stayed about 3/4 step ahead of me most of the way. I was bummed that I couldn't quite poull ahead of him. I congratualted him afterwards and he was a very nice guy. I felt a little better when I saw the results and learned that he was younger than me and started in wave 1. I wished they would have marked everyone - I am almost positive they did it last year.

Nothing - the sprint at the end helped better my finish time even though it hurt a lot!

Stretched a bit - tried the new "calorie burning" soda and thought it was nasty. Then hit the road.


Nothing - weather was ridiculous and helped all of us!


I like the race a lot - if they add timing chips, it will be even better. I don't mind that the post-race stuff is below par, I'm there for the race anyway.
