St. Patrick's Day Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

decent swim, tried not to go out too fast on the first 100. was able to clear traffic in the lanes without much trouble.

I was fine with where I seeded myself timewise, felt pretty good throughout the 300. Not sure I'd make many changes for this pool course.

was a slow-ish transition as I took time to dry off since it was a chilly day. shoes went on easy - so did helmet & shades. didn't feel quite as disoriented/out of breath as I have in other races.

practice more to be more fluid and efficient.

averaged 17.5 on the bike course - which is a improvement over monster tri in the fall. Felt good throughout the course, my second lap is where I lost time. Wind seemed more of a factor on this lap and when coupled with fatigue it slowed me down in several areas. the course was pretty crowded, but I was still able to pass and not block.

i stayed in the drops a lot, work on being more aero and efficient.

transition to run was slower than i thought it would be. feet and hands were cold.

practice

good run for me. was fastest 5K i've had in a tri since I started doing them.

i'd like to practice bike/run bricks as I had a tough time with my running form off the bike.

walk/stretch plus Recoverite


i thought the race production was great. the bag piper @ swim start was cool and the post race band and events were great. I wasn't quite ready for pancakes, but I saw lots of people enjoying them post-race. There were a lot of racers, but the event seemed to run well. I look forward to doing this race again.
