Pelican Fest Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

My legs were so exhausted from doing the breast stroke I fell down getting out of the water. UGH!!!

I will be doing so open water swim practices for sure. I think I could have pushed through better and done more free style and much less breast stroke. I think that if I could have pushed myself back into a free style I would have settled back into a nice pace (darn that mental capacity).

I liked my bike (much much more then the swim). I passed more then got passed and felt okay. The course is nice.

More training on the bike and work on speed up the hills. I find that I like the speed going done...but who doesn't

I did not train as much running as I wish I had. Live and Learn.

Train better (or at least more)

Use my 9 year old as a walker assistant and try to not fall down.


I trained but not nearly enough or smart enough. Looking foward to doing another race in September.


Having been to other races to support my wife I can compare a little. I think the volunteers were great and plentiful. Sign-in went smoothly. I wish the "goodie" bag was a little more goodie. But, they did give out Tech-Tees which is nicer than the typical cotton T. Also, more port-a-johns at the transition area would have been better. I would say a well put on and organized race. I will be doing it again next year.
