2nd Annual Tri the Valley - TriathlonSprint

Definitely need to work on my swimming. I had only ever swum 300 meters two times, like one week before the race. If I put some time in over the winter, I will definitely be able to improve my time and my performance!

I didn't have a wetsuit on, so I didn't have to worry about that. But I did have to put on my biking shorts and my shirt that had my race number on it. That definitely is what slowed me down.

I want to get a trisuit so I don't have to take the time of putting on biking shorts and a shirt.

Honestly this was really hard for me. So many hills! But I survived! Also, big mistake to put propel in my water bottle instead of plain water. It coated my mouth and throat and made me want to throw up!

Regular Water, more training on hills!!

This was the most simple for me because I didn't have bike pedal clips so I was already in my running shoes. I just wore my biking shorts while I ran too, so I had no changing to do.

First mile was DEFINITELY the hardest. My legs just didn't want to move and I couldn't get my breath. But the second and third mile went more smoothly.

I'm going to run a few 5Ks to get more acquainted with running. Running is my LEAST favorite of the 3 portions!

None.


Not enough training...but I wasn't concerned about that cuz all I wanted to do was figure out how a triathlon works and at least finish. Now that I know, I will train much harder and try to beat my times next time!


For as much as I paid for this ($95), it could have been sooo much better. I have done 5Ks before and they have tons of food and entertainment afterwards. This race had a small table of random food on it from the grocery store. No catered food or entertainment. I definitely was disappointed by that. But I still had a BLAST!! :)
