Faith in Action Caregivers Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I felt really good in the water. Long smooth strokes and I didn't feel tired at all, usually I feel a little labored in my breathing, but not on this swim. I was first out of the water in my heat.

No transition time was posted, but I think it was probably one of my best transition times out of the water.

My rear tire started losing air at some point during my return portion of the course. Tire was completely flat with about 2 miles to go, so I just kept on going, I probably lost some time with this, but overall I thought I did good on the bike. Course contained 10+ 90 degree turns, but I thought I cornered them good and I kept up a good cadence throughout.

Got off the bike pretty good, it was a grass transition area, so it was easy on the bare feet. Bike was not on a rack so I just placed it down. First time using running shoes with the lace locks, they went on really fast and I was pretty happy with the feel, although my second toe on both feet received some friction and eventually got blisters. Grabbed my hat which contained a gel flask (which was lost) and my race number and ran with them until I got everything on.

Make sure my gel flask was more secure to my person. It fell out before I even left the transition area

I felt really good on the run, keeping a consistent pace and cadence throughout. The only part that was not satisfactory was the frictin on the tops of both second toes from the shoes. I need to figure something out, because if it were a 10k run, I might have had to stop

Use some moleskin on my second toes, hopefully that will create a barrier.

stretched for a while, overall I didn't feel real tired or sore


flat tire, blisters


Gotta work on my feet, hopefully get some practice in before a longer race.
