Pterodactyl Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Good swim. It was raining, but the water was very calm. Started too strong again, then got out of breath. No panic though, just used a lot of "side crawling" to catch my breath a few times.

I really need to hold my crawl. Need more practice in open water.

Somehow, I came out in the wrong lane and could not find my bike right away. Then lost some time to get the transition stuff that was in a bag due to the rain.

Take more time to go through the motions before the race so that I find my bike right away.

Awesome bike leg. Cut 1min 30 secs from last race on same track, despite the rain. I did have my new TRI bike.

Nothing. Train harder.

My socks were soaking wet from the bike in the rain, so I decided to change socks before the run. While this was a really good idea for the run (I would do it again!), this was not prepared in my transition area so I needed to search my bag for the extra pair I had brought.

I also had to install a "Patt Strap" above my knee to help with my Iliotibial Band syndrome.

So I lost a little time there.

If raining, prepare second pair of socks for the run in advance...

The run was awesome. I was quicker than in training, which is a first for me. Ii do not know if it has to do with the cool temperature, or the benefits of having a realt Triathlon bike, but the run went really good. I did not even feel like walking. The last race, I had to fight with myself to not walk.

Nothing. Just try to increase the pace more at the end next time to gain a few positions if possible.

Walk around eating pitas :))


My lack of technique in the swim.


I really like this T-Rex serie.
