Pasadena Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

There were a lot of swimmers in the pool at the same time.Pushed down and run over by one swimmer; ran-up on someone's legs; hit several times by other swimmers. Now I have a better idea of what an open water swim might be like.


Average time was slightly slower than last event. Since this is my weakest event, need to spend more time preparing for swim.

This was a reverse tri so this transition was from the run to the bike.

This was more than one minute faster than my last event.

Good ride. Average was slightly faster than last event.

My average run time was almost one minute per mile slower than my previous event. My last event was completely flat so the slight incline at the start might have accounted for part of this increase but I also had a hard time finding someone to pace.

I need to increase my mileage so that I can increase my overall speed. Currently, when I run, I am not running farther than a 5K.

None.


After my last event on February 27, 2010 (Race on the Base) I took nearly two weeks off from training (partly because this event was sold out). When I was able to secure a transfer, I had about a week and one-half to prepare.


I enjoyed the event. Their were plently of helpful and friendly volunteers and event staff. I never felt lost and there was always someone there to point you in the right direction.
