The Rookie Triathlon - TriathlonMini Sprint

Started in a decent position towards the back. Practice sighting more, and breathing under difficult conditions

Only have a few weeks of total bike time, so I just learned to use clipless pedals not too long ago.

Need to learn how to get into shoes when they're on the pedal. Practice transition

More time riding, and more time at a faster pace.

My bike was at the entrance/exit of the transition but the volunteer blocked me from going straight to my rike and said I had to run around the transition area. When I had gone down the hill and turned around, I noticed no one else was doing it so I came back up the middle and back to my rack.

Don't listen to the volunteer and go straight to the rack.

My legs felt like lead starting the course, about a mile in I started getting blood flowing and feeling better.

Do a quick stretch maybe, but definitely need to do more runs at longer distances.

Drank water and took pictures


Experience


As this was my first Tri I found it as good as everyone said it was. Very well organized, well could have used more porta-potties, other than that I thought most events were on time, and most importantly started without a hitch.
