2009 Layton Triathlon - Rinse, Bike, Run, Repeat!!! - TriathlonMini Sprint

Overall the swim wasn't bad. By about half way through it became obvious my swimming endurance was lacking. But considering I had only trained a month for this I think I performed relatively well. It was my first Triathlon so I just wanted to finish. The swim itself wasn't bad, I did find changing from lane to lane annoying though.

More training, better swim endurance.

I was so tired when I came out of the water and still in that surreal frame of mind, that it don on me to run to the transition area until I was nearly to my bike. I dried off my feet and pull on my socks, shoes and shirt and took off.

Jog to the transition area straight of the pool.

I thought I'd be able to recover a little from the bike ride, but it wore me out. Thankfully I wasn't as out of breath from the bike as I was getting out of the pool.

Probably push a little harder on the bike.

Parked my bike, pulled off my helmet and through on my hat and I was off. I don't ride with clips so I already had my running shoes on.

Not sure I could have gone much quicker since I only needed to take off my helmet and put on a hat.

I had to slow to a walk a couple times, but I kept a decent pace. Same with the swim, considering I trained for a month I think I did pretty well.

Better endurance training.

Walked to the bike and back to family.


I'd say training time and just that it was my first triathlon.


Since it was the first year of the race and my first year competing I think the race was well done. I think the start could have been organized a bit better. But I'm sure they'll learn from this first year just as I did for my first time. I do wish they had the split times for each section of the race, but that would be more for my own knowledge.
