MotorCity Triathlon - Sprint Distance - TriathlonSprint

Very shallow water, like the last time I did this race in 08. So the first 200 out, at least 10 people in my wave were walking. Plus my wave was the last one.

I gained a lot of ground after we got in the deeper water, passed tons of people.

Um, not do a shallow race. Or learn how to deal with it. Idk.

I need to work on this T1, getting socks on and other stuff adds on too much time. Some people are a whole minute faster!

Practice or train without socks? Idk

Kept it crankin in the big gear because of the flats. Of course my cadence was lower than usual, but I averaged 23 mph. Can't complain.

Drank way too much Perpetuem, which hurt me later.

Not drink as much. Oh and train in the big gear more!

I rushed the shit out of this one! Still slower than some people, but whatever!

Train on getting off the bike better

Drank too much on the bike, so my stomach was tight. At least it forced me to make my abs look good!

I was slow for the first mile or so, then got progressively faster until after I finished. Drank water only at the aid stations, remembering last triathlon with gatorade, so no puking!



Do more hard bike/hard run brick sets to prepare my body.

Get my drinking ratio correct.

Sipped some drink they gave me, nibbled food. Stretched a little.


Shallow water on the swim, sucking at transition areas, not enough big gear cycling practice


Other than the swim, I think the course is great!
