Life Time Fitness Triathlon - Sprint - TriathlonSprint

I went out way to hard this being my first race. I had trouble getting my breath and had to really slow down and side stroke for 30 seconds to calm down. Then I settled into a slower pace and was able to maintain a decent speed and cadence for the rest of the swim.

Bring Tinted goggles. Sighting was very hard for the early part of the race. Also go out a little closer to my pace so as to not panic and have to almost stop to calm down

Fairly good transition considering how long the run was from the beach to the bike.

Learn how to keep shoes on bike and put shoes on during the ride.

The bike went extremely well for me. My legs felt great and was able to maintain 20 mph average on a fairly tough course. there was a couple 180 degree turn and a lot of very sharp narrow corners.

Back off a little on last mile and get my cadence in line with running. I really struggled with that transition.

I felt like this was a fairly good T2 Considering its my first race

run faster with bike to rack and from rack to exit.

I really struggled with running off the bike for the first mile. I thought i practiced this enough but I think I was not prepared for intensity of the bike then running.

Practice more intense bike/run bricks to see what I am capable of.

cold towel and some cold water


not enough practice, first race jitters, not enough sleep the night before.


Was an excellent choice for a first timers race! Kind of expensive but they do provide a lot and make the event very fun and organized! I had a blast
