2nd Annual Scenic 17 Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Didn't sight well to the first bouy. and was about 10-15 yrds off course. Probably could have shortened the swim time by a good 20 seconds if I had stayed on course. Live and learn.

Sight better

Long run from swim to T1. A little out of breath when I got there. Could have been a little faster, but overall not bad.

Be in better shape so I wouldn't be out of breath when I get to there if there is a long run to transition.

HILLS! What more can I say. This course has to be one of the toughest sprints in Florida. Pretty much the whole course is hills...some more gradual than others. Top speed = 37 MPH....Low speed = 6.9 MPH. Those numbers should give you an indication of what we were dealing with. Not that I am complaining. I loved the challenge...but it was a challenge.

Train more on hills. I just recently found a course around me that offers some hill work, but was only able to do a couple of times before this race. I'll be more prepared next year.

Pretty good transition for me.

Nothing really.

Pretty slow pace for me, but O.K. considering the bike course I had just endured and the fact that the run course was challenging in and of itself.

Nothing really.

Water and walked around and waited for my wife to finish this, her first tri. She did great for it being such a difficult course. I'm so proud of her!


Training. I've only been seriously training for tri's for about 6 months. More training will result in better performance.


Great race! It's a small local race. It only had 36 people last year. This year they tripled in numbers at 108 participants. It's a very challenging course, so I think once the word gets out, it will become very popular. I'm looking forward to doing it next year. I highly recommend.
