Stonebridge Ranch Triathlon-Short - TriathlonSprint

Felt as though I swam better than the Metroplex sprint in June, but I don't think the time is any better. I ran into or was run into at various points throughout the course.

Train more in the pool prior to the tri.

There was a fairly long run (from my little experience) from the lake to the transition site. The "run" included a fairly steep, wet, up/downhill area that I'm sure some people wiped out on. Luckily, I fared well.

Nothing.

I couldn't figure out why my speedometer wasn't working when I started. After a couple of minutes, I realized I put my tire on "backwards" so the sensor wasn't "seeing" the magnet. Oh well. The hills weren't too bad, but then again, I'm not too good at climbing. Pretty much every time I passed someone on a flat or downhill, they passed me at the next uphill.

Put the tire on correctly. Push a little harder. I pushed a little more than my last tri, but due to lack of training I think I fared about the same.

Still have the basket pedals so shoes aren't a player here. Running with the bike was pretty good here.

Nothing.

If an event is just a run, I can do well. However, I don't think I broke any records with today's run. In fact, I was passed by several people. I was the one passing people in June. Again, really didn't train for this tri like I should have and my performance showed it.

Train better, more bricks.

None.


Lack of training.


Good organization with this race. The big thing I would have done differently is have the sprint start before the Oly.
