Pantellas Doc and Sok - TriathlonSprint

Couldnt get a rythm breathing due to the cold and general panic. Ended up breast stroking half the race. Nothing like swimming in the pool.

Train more in open water. Wear a wetsuit!

Was moving a little slow after being unexpectedly tired from the swim and cold water. Didnt wear socks and it def helped with speed.

Reset bike computer! I showed 17 miles halfway through the race and never knew exactly wear I was.

Felt ok, could have gone a little harder. Immediately after getting on the bike in the bent over position my mid-section began to cramp up. THis lasted for most of the race. I think it was due to the over-effort on the swim. I was flying down hills, hit ~37mph one time.

Climp hills faster, not take breaks going down hills.

Simply pulled up to the dismount, clicked out relatively slowly, and walked/ran the bike into transition. Again didnt wear socks in the running shoes, which ended up helping the time and didnt cause any blisters.

Loosen shoes on ride, slip feet out while riding possibly. Get look cleats.

Very fatigued at this point and couldnt get the legs to move faster. Wanted to stop a few times but pushed through it. Only drank one cup of water around mile one.

Extend stride, push harder.

None


Unprepared for cold open water swim. Need to train in open water and get a proper wetsuit.


First ever triathlon. Learned a ton and know what I need to work on for next time.
