Gloucester Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Good, strong swim. Went a bit off course coming around the last buoy while drafting off someone, but other than that it was a good solid swim.

Not much at all... just get stronger. Effort level was about right.

I was 19/48 in my age group in the transition, 194/617 overall. My spot was really out of the way, which didn't help. I got my suit down to my upper thighs by the team I reached my transition spot, which helped getting it off the rest of the way.

As I am stepping out of the wetsuit, I should be putting my sunglasses and helmet on.

Fun, but challenging course. Due to the reverse wave start of the swim, there were a lot of people on the course to navigate around.

Get stronger, up the cardio... need to push a bigger gear.

A bit crowded transition getting the bike in, but not a huge deal. I forgot to get out of my shoes before the transition, so I ran in my shoes all the way to the transition point. Then took them off, and put on my running shoes. I also got half-way through the transition area, and realized I forgot my garmin gps watch on my bike. I ran back to get it...
I was 28/48 in my division, and 344/617 overall....

Get out of my shoes on the bike, and don't forget my watch!

Run felt good, but I didn't have enough left in the tank at the end. I ran hard up the last uphill to catch a person in my age group, but then he kicked it in and I didn't have enough left to catch him.

Run faster in the middle portion of the race, get up to speed quicker out of T2 as well.

Walking around for 15 minutes.


Lack of training... same as always!!


Fantastic race, well organized, had a blast. Big names showed up, made for a great day!
