Niantic Bay Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Could easily be the worst swim time of my life. Didn't feel this slow, in fact I passed tons of people. Obvious from the time I have't been in the pool in a month... stupid cast... stupid shoulder.

Not get hit by a car a month ago. Stupid bitch! That's the last swim I spot anybody, you hear that you other 220 ahead of me. I coming for you next year.

Start was uphill had trouble getting going with cleats wet, even in low gear.

Felt really good on the bike, legs felt strong, never felt tired, hills were slow but since I hadn't ridden or seen the course ahead of time I was afraid of attacking them and burning out. Next year I will blast up them all. The downhills were sweet, nice high of 38 mph. Sucks that there were 2 90 degree turns, but cornering will only get better w/o cast and w/ more experience. Felt finished strong and that I hadn't pushed it hard enough on the bike.

Cornering practive at high speeds. Attack hills early and often

Putting on my sneakers was an eternity.

Buy some speed laces for sprints (I don't like them for regular training because I always lace my shoes to stay loose low and tight at the ankle)

Always been a slow and steady runner, regardless of distance.

Need to work on running fast for short distances, instead of always running all distances at a 10 min/mile. Also, some more bricks would probably help.

None


Stupid wrist and shoulder.


Great small town race. I felt pretty good about my performance until I saw my swim split and age group place this morning. Till next year.
