Ameriprise Financial South Florida Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

had a good swim. Didn't feel great at first, but found a groove and worked my way to the front.
First out of the water in my division.

Need to get a little faster. I think I can drop a minute if I get in a groove earlier.

Panting a little coming into T1, but my bike was near entrance. Had a long run to the other side. I am not sure how one of the guys had a 29 sec T1. It would take almost that long to run the length of transition area.

Move a little faster. Get a better shirt!

Good bike course. Turns that helped since I don't have a super aero bike, but I am OK at accelerating.
I felt like my cadence was good. I just need to work on the engine.
I think I may try to "sample" a bike with drop bars, since at above 15 mph I have heard that straight bars can affect mph by 1-2 mph.
I felt like I did a good job of keeping my HR in a zone that I could transition well to running.

Go faster!-I want to get my speed into the 20 mph range. I know I can, but I need to work on it.

Took a bit of time to drink the cold water out of the ice bag.....It was HOT.
panting a bit, but that is normal at a sprint.


Have a second ice cold bottle at ready.
Have ice in cap ahead of time-not sure how to manage.

OK, I am happy that my run average is getting better, but it was only so so as far as my division goes. I want to get it down to the 7:45-8:10 range. That would help a bit.
Felt good and passed a lot of people. Considering the heat, I am very happy with my performance.

Have more cold water in transition for dumping over my head.

Uhhh-drinking water and starting to volunteer to break down


I was feeling a bit tired before the race. I shouldn't volunteer when I am racing.


Love the multi race tri's.
Looking forward to seeing what Miami man is like.
