MotorCity Triathlon - Sprint Distance - TriathlonSprint

should have considered the current a bit more when heading out to the second buoy. By the time I approached it, I had been sucked downstream. Ended up having to swim up-stream for about 15 yards to get to the buoy and round it.... i completely spent myself

Need to do a better job sighting and overall navigation. Take into consideration the current

should have been smarter with the timing chip. I tore it off when the wetsuit came off. Didn't realize it until I mounted the bike. Wasn't sure if I was going to get DQ'd, so I went back into T1 and searched my bag, turned my wetsuit inside out... finally found it on the ground... uggggh. I think I lost about 4 minutes here!!!

tuck the timing chip under the wetsuit

Good biking leg. Our leg was the last to go, so the bike course was relatively clear.

push a bit harder

pretty straight forward here in T2...

run with socks... this was my 2nd time running w/o socks... it was pretty gross when I was done.

Good run. nice course

push a bit harder

hung out had some pizza


loosing the timing chip in T1 sucked. after that, it was a mental game for me. need to learn how to blow it off, and focus on the rest of the race.


First triathlon for me, so not much to base it off of. Truly enjoyed the race, the atmosphere and the Detroit skyline. Look forward to doing it next year!
