James O'Rourke Memorial Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Total swim time was what I planned, started off a little fast and gassed in the last 250..should have been better

Don't let nerves get the best of me. better pacing

I was unhappy with the transition. I had a great spot near the start. I had my stuff organized but I was slow in getting the socks and shoes on.

Maybe go without socks next time. If its warmer I won't need to layer and that should save some time.

Really struggled riding into the wind. Down to 11 mph at a couple of points. I made up some time on the way back but overall not pleased.

Leave a little in the tank for the run. I was determined to make up time with the tail wind and blew out my legs a little bit. Definitely need to hit the hills and strengthen the legs.

Not terrible but I was shedding layers and paused for a drink and a breath.

Find something to wear for the whole race. Don't sweat the cool weather and a little wind.

Absolute mush for legs for the first half. Picked it up after the turn and actually had a decent kick.

More bricks during training. don't press so much in the last two miles of the ride.

5 minutes of stretch


ineffective training.


Great race. competitive and fitness divisions (I did the fitness). Lots of volunteers and very well organized. Everyone volunteers and athletes alike are very supportive.
