Keystone State Park Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Overall, not a bad swim. I swam a bit extra because I thought there was another bouy to round. Turns out, it was time to swim to shore.

Turned right a little, but not too bad this time. Seems like slowing down the stroke helped a lot.

Train more. Only one OWS before today this year.

had a lot of trouble clipping in. May have had some dirt in my cleats from the transition.

Nothing on race day. I went as hard as I had to. There really wasn't an option to slack on this one.

So I get back to the transition area and I don't see any bikes. For a second, I thought I wasn't so far back. That's when I realized all the bikes had fallen down.

This was a good transition. I forgot to take my feet out of the shoes and couldn't jump off with them off.

Took a wrong turn when the volunteer sent me the wrong way. Guess he didn't know I was on my first lap.

Alternated between running (very slowly) and hobbling around on cramped quads.

Try to know the course better. Sometimes the volunteers make mistakes, too.

walked around. Went through the mist tent.


lack of training.


This was the first year, but they need to do some things differently next year. The bike rack in transition just won't do. A rope just doesn't cut it.

A lot of people got lost on the bike and run courses. And the bike course had some part that just weren't any good. Not the hills, the road.
