New Jersey Devilman Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

This is slow for anyone that is a good swimmer. But, this was my first OWS...so I am very happy that I swam the whole time (no backstroke, breaststroke, etc.). My sighting rocked, and I turned every buoy right at the corners. I definitely felt like I got into a rhythm though, and for that I am thankful.

Work on swim time...just getting more efficient/faster in the water.

No problems here. I could cut down a bit on this time...but my bike was all the way at the back on this transition, and the run from the swim to there was long...I think that had a lot to do with it. Otherwise good.

Maybe learn how to have shoes clipped in to bike and do a running start?

Very disappointed with my time here. I have been biking quite a bit lately...and this is WAY below my average pace. Definitely not what I had hoped.

New tri shorts were SUPER uncomfortable and literally bruised/gave me a cramp on my backside...so when I got off the bike I could barely walk.

Test my race shorts ahead of time.

Work on swim to bike transition, and bike in general. Just keep training. This is an early season race...so now I know what I need to work on.

Good transition again. Could be a tad bit faster...but the distances b/w transition mats is BIG in this race.

Horrible run for me. As I said, I had cramping in my legs and backside coming off the bike and literally 'tip-toed' the first 2 miles of the run. NOT good for me...I normally average an 8:30 pace...so this was DEFINITELY not a great portion for me.

Keep training more and more. It was a long bike portion (and a difficult one).

Keep running...work on Brick training.

At a sandwich, drank some water.


Weather was a great limiting factor (i.e. the wind). I do have to attribute some of the fault to my fitness level too though. Need to keep training.


Great race. Well organized. No complaints...I definitely think I would come back and do this again.
