YMCA Spirit, Mind, Body Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Swim still threw me off a little even after all the OWS practice. Breathing was kinda tough and started to swim off course for about 45 seconds but quickly corrected. Water was pretty murked up by my wave start but it was not as bad as I previously had heard it was. I was hopin for a 9:30 swim but that was based on 500 yds.

Legs were wobbly and weak coming out of the water. This was my 2nd tri and although not as bad as my first I still felt my legs couldn't deliver the punch on the bike and run after the swim. I need much more Swim-Bike brick practice.

Went smooth overall, little hiccup putting my socks on and also had to smile to the family cheering me on while getting transitioned. Used rare earth magnets for my race number--worked pretty good

Practice more transitions

Bike actually was right on target even though I felt slow on the bike today. I didn't burn up the hills like I am capable of but I did maintain enough composure so I wouldn't blow up on the run. Goal was 55:15 and managed 54:33 so was very pleased

nothing - just keep logging in the miles

T2 went smooth - no problems

Was definitely tapped going into the run (at least I felt like I was) however I once again managed to come close to my run goal. I was really concerned I'd blow up on the run so I never pushed it like I have been practicing to do. The sun was brutal on the course. The two water stations provided some relief with a quick sip and the rest of the cool water over my head

nothing - need to step up my running mileage in training

none - walked


This was my 2nd tri - I was very close to my goal and I improved dramatically from my first tri earlier this season. I'm grateful for my progress
