Wasaga Beach Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I think the warm up swim really made a difference. I felt relaxed and by bilateral breathing was good. The course itself is really shallow. From the wading start we had to cross abut 3 knee deep sandbars so there was a lot of runing in water and dolphin diving before the real swimming started. Same on the way back expect had to run right back to the beach. I would estimate we had to run in the water for about 100M to start and about 200 meters to exit the water. I think I heard one of the officials say the 750M was measured excluded the sand bar areas at the start and end.

Nothing.

Forgot to take timing chip off my ankle so I had to push my leg back through the wetsuit, take the chip off and then remove suit. Good running mount, but I am using running shoes. Quiet a run up the beach, across the road and through the transition area. This is the longest run in transition for me so far.

Remember to remove timing chip

Still on the mountain bike. Slicks seem to be alot smoother and definately quieter. My computer wasn't working. I must have forgot to adjust the magent when I put my tire back on. I didn't have any pacing or speed information so I just had at 'er. I thought with the cages and new slicks I would have been faster.

check computer

Nice easy transation. Rack bike, remove helmet and run. Still a fairly long run from bike course ~125m and to run course ~150m.

nothing

I felt that I was out of breath for most of the run. Couldn't seem to find my breathing rhythm at all. My time was slower then I expected.

Not sure. Maybe more bike training to come into the run in a little better condition.

Walking, loaded bike into the truck and walked back the finish to wait for Diane. Pizza, banana, begal, watermellon and 2 bottles of water after race.


More swim training, mountain bike, something was off on the run. Hey first year of tris so I now have a baseline to improve.


Overall a good time. Stayed for the awards this time to see what it was like. I enjoyed it.
