Triathlon de Verdun - TriathlonSprint

this was a Quebec Cup race and the swimmers were quite strong. Lots of elbows flying. Hard course. I checked others times and they are all significantly slower than usual.

Start was not very well organized. 100 or so people leaving from deep water, in about a 30 feet corridor was brutal. They were supposed to do it in waves but didn't. The pack did not spread out very quickly.


I don't think I pushed hard enough on swim, although my HR monitor says I did. But the stress did not help

Not bad this time around. Wetsuit got stuck on heels but much better than my first race.

The distance from water to bike track was loooong. Measured it, 350m from water to bike mount and 300m from bike un mount to run.

Keep on practicing transitions and wet suit removal

Biking is my worst leg. I could never get "going" and was always afraid to burn myself out.

Did not go in Aero enough. Found it much harder to be in aero position.

Pretty good
One slow swimmer blocked the transition areas, but that's maybe 10 seconds

Never really pushed

Push harder, especially second half

Exhaustion coming out from the swim.


Distance in transitions is too long
