Triceratops Tri - TriathlonSprint

As usual, my goggles keep fogging before the race start, despite all the measures I have tried to avoid that (anti-fog products, spit, lick, etc) which always make me stress a bit before the start.

I had to stop a few times to remove the water of my goggles. I did not hold my crawl the whole time; did a bit of side crawl and backstroke. But this time I did not panic and it went a lot better.

More warmup inthe water; Make sure my goggles are not leaking before the start. I really need to find a way to prevent my goggles from fogging.

My damn time chip did not register the end of my swim. So there was one official running after me in T1 giving me another chip. Lost a lot of time there. I did the remaining of the race with 2 timing chips.

Make sure my timing chip registers well before race start.

My fastest bike ride of the year, including all of my training sessions. I was on fire that day on the bike. I passed a lot of people there. making up for my slow swim.

Nothing! I just hope I can do it again :)

Perhaps the only thing I would change is not slowing down that much when arriving near the end of the course. I got stock in a pack slowing down way too soon.

I had cramps in my calves during T2, so I decided to stretch my calves before starting the run. I lost a few positions there.

The idea of walking kept coming back at the beginning of the run, but I told myself maybe a 100 times: "Walking is not an option". I allowed myself to slow down but never stop running. That's good because most people I passed were people walking.

The only problem is my injury, (iliotibial muscle syndrome) keeps bothering me during the run.

Try to hold my pace.

Walk around with my "Finisher's medal" hehe :)


The swim is where I have the most potential to cut minutes off my total time. I really need to get better in this discipline.


I will really try to make the 2 other chapters of the T-REX serie.
