TRI Peachtree City Sprint - TriathlonSprint

Length was greater than 530yds. Judging by my time, I would guess closer to 600yds.

Buy tri suit and cycling shoes. Putting on shorts, shirt, socks, and running shoes just won't cut it in the future.

Knew I was in trouble when the 57yr old woman passed me like I was standing still. I passed dozens on the swim and got passed by dozens on the bike. I only passed three people, 1 legitimate, 1 who crashed, and 1 with a flat tire. Obviously this is my weak link but at least I broke 20MPH.

Not bad for my first tri and only about 500miles riding over the past 3 or 4 months. Must ride more and get cycling shoes instead of running shoes in cages

Already had running shoes on so my T2 was faster than most everybody. Still, 15seconds gained won't make up for the 5minutes lost on the bike.

Was hoping to hold something between 7:00 and 7:30 but 7:41 is still OK. Again, not bad for my first tri.

Need to run more.

Walked around for quite a bit. Watched the family volunteering at the finish line. Walked back to the lake and went for a swim. Even though it was 88deg, it was cooler than I was.


Lack of bike base and lack of running base.


I enjoyed my first triathlon. As a former swimmer, I knew I would be one of the first out of the water and then would give up some lead on the bike but I wasn't expecting to give up so much. I just need to ride the bike more.
