HammerHead Olympic Triathlon & Sprint - TriathlonSprint

Started in the back, but there was not much of a pack really. It did seem like before I reached the first bouy dude in front keep stopping I had to pull up a number of times, but finally made it around him. Also they didn't seem to have enough guards in the water, there were a few women freaking out...I guess someone came to help them.

I need to work on my sighting after I get tired. For the last part of the swim my sighting kinda sucked, I would actually come to a stop to see where I was going. I think I also need to try and swim faster I also seem to go on an easy pace to make sure I don't drown.

This transition was good, A little trouble pulling on my shirt. No socks so things went pretty quick

Perhaps find a shirt that I can swim in to save that time.

I concentrated on pushing and pulling to make sure that I didn't burn out my quads. The temp was pretty nice and few actual cool spots where the course went by a shady stream, like an air-conditioner. Right leg need some stretching, so I geared down and stood to pedal, seemed to help.

This was pretty good for me, I didn't use my quads too much. I may try to stand more often next time, perhaps stretch before the transition on the return so my legs can run better.

This was nice and fast. Forgot my race number, but didn't worry about.

Put on the number, need to put in on top of my shoes so I don't forget it.

My legs felt good right away, but I didn't push it because I wanted to make sure I could finish without stopping. Had a quick drink at the last mile and I ran shirtless for the last mile, that cooled me down along with the iced sponges they had. A good run for me, but I could have pushed it a little more.

More run training to get my time down. Perhaps more bike/run bricks to try and push past the initial start of the run trouble.

Water and cookies


Needed more food choices after the race I thought. They were out of water when I went back for another. Glad I had some backup clifbars, or I would have been pretty hungry.
