Mini Ha Ha Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

5 people in lane. I was fastest, but went second.
1. didn't have my swim watch.
2. lost track of laps.
3. followed guy who said he was faster, but was really slow. I followed him too long and only passed once he caught up to slowest swimmer and didn't pass. i was enjoying the leisurely swim, had to breathstroke a couple times. i wasn't thinking. should have swam my own race.
i ended up around 7 minutes....when i'd been doing 6 easily in training.
I'm really mad at myself for my swim.

Extra time for extra clothes due to rain. I thought I was alot worse, but not too bad considering. I even jump from one side of rack to the other a couple of times due to my unorganization.

lots.

Other than the rain and wet surface I think i had a pretty good ride. Only one lady passed me on the downhill (more mass) but I caught up on the flat. I passed a TT bike when he stopped to make an adjustment and he never caught me.
This was a good ride for me at my ability level now. I felt like I pushed myself fairly hard for not knowing my speed (garmin didn't have speed on screen, long story...)

This transition went well. Put socks on. Removed helmet, jacket, gloves. Running shoes.

right calf cramped up at start. never quite 100% but got through it. breathing pretty hard, but just kept pushing. legs never got warm on bike, nor run

this was a good run for me.

Since it was cold and rainy, didn't really need to warm down. Just went to car to get warm clothes. Went to go watch wife finish.


1. rain
2. made bad choice on swim.
3. T1

I was hoping for under an hour. I thought I totally blew it, with the rain and swim and T1. But looking at the numbers, I guess the rain might not have limited the bike that badly. My T1 wasn't as bad as I thought. The swim was a minute long. I probably would have been really close with a smarter swim and no rain.


No timing chips, so times are estimates (even overall time i bet is a bit off). had garmin but wasn't always exactly on time.
