Boiling Springs Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

swim went great! i swam in the race at the same pace i swim my timed 200's. i was very pleased. that was the time i was hoping to do it in!

train more for next year to get faster.

not sure of T1. no transition timing was done. but i think i was around 2:00+. bad idea trying to put on my tri top while still wet, and it really cost me time.

wear the tri top in the pool.

felt like a slug the first half of the bike course. i havent been putting in many miles on the bike, and it just didnt feel smooth and easy to me. after i got about half way, i was loosened up and started closing in on the person who beat me out of the pool first in my wave.

keep up my bike training and dont let it slack off.

again, no transition timing. but from my previous races, it felt to be about the same time.

got off bike and felt good. had a minor side stitch, but i pushed through it. i didnt want the person behind me to pass me, so that made me push through my discomfort. after i got to the turnaround, i felt great and was able to put more down some more speed (not that im fast though).

work on not getting side stitches on the run, how to run with a side stitch, etc.

got a few drinks and some bagels with peanut butter.


need chip timing. and make the bike course not pass over train tracks twice and risk getting stuck.
