Nathan's Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

OPEN water scared the crap out of me and we had to swim 50 yards to the start line my heart rate wen through the roof and i thought this was a mistake lol =) but i tried to calm my self and just told my self to get through it/ i could not swim everytime i did i would start to freak out so i just kinda waded my way through the whole course wich really affected my whole race/ i will not get back into open water without proper training and am looking forward to it so i can get better for the next race.

Train in open water and then train some more this cannot happen again .

my transition from the water to land was awkward but i managed to stay on my feet and run trough it , but since this was my first one i just took it slow

speed it up

the bike couse was fun i did ok ..... but i will tell you this everytime i saw one of the other guys pass me with a 4000.00 bike and a cool helmitt it made me want to go harder and faster i loved it .

i am going to get my bike fitted to ME specifically i didnt do this i just have a road bike with some aero bars on it and it feld awkward thoughout the race . still a good bike but need to get faster with it

i started to run pretty slowly out of the transition area and i kept going for the first mile at a slow jog but then my legs started to give out i wasnt cramping or anything, i just got tired i should of been able to do the run cousre with no problem but my lack of training and not knwing what to expect all affected my ability to perform.

train . train and then train some more

for my first race i loved it even though i almost drowned in the swim lol . I am looking forward to the next race in november . i got such a kick out of seeing old and young people of all different shapes and sizes finish this race. i loved the atmosphere and i will just do a lot more traingin before my next race. thanks to everybody and all the voluneteers for there support see you all again soon
