30th Annual YMCA Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Swim felt pretty good. I started way at the back based on the ppounding I took at Skinnyman last year. Slowly picked my way forward.

Possibly start more toward the front based on the wave starting position. Starting all the way in the back cost a lot of time actuallu waiting for the pack to get going.

Seemed like it took a long time to get the suit off.

Socks were hard to put on -

Get more of the suit off during the run out of the water. Practice getting the socks on wet feet.

Bike was average for me. Hills are my downfall for sure as I slow to a crawl. Had one near miss accient with another competitor. He slowed for no reason and I moved right into him - could have been avoided but was almost a disaster

Could push a little harder in th emiddle of the course.
Drink more during the ride - the lack of water probably caused cramping experienced during the run.

First - I missed my row to get the bike racked. Took a while to get bike shoes off and get my running shoes tied.
Took time to hydrate

Sight my area better from the bike entry
Perhaps have shoes looser to get feet in quicker

I am just plain slow. The knee problems do not allow me to train well for this. Plus had some bad cramping of my left calf - probably due to not drinking enough during the ride.

Make sure I drink more. Possibly train more, but not sure how with the bad knne

Wallked around for several minutes. Took some nutrition.


My right knee mostly.


I really enjoyed this race. The setting is picturesque for the run and the swim is well layed out and sighting is reasonable even without prescription goggles
