Triathlon by the Sea - TriathlonSprint

The water was really rough but it didn't really bother me too much. I got out ahead of everyone except for James so I didn't get caught up by anyone. I was with James until the first buoy and then he got a bit in front of me and finished about 30 secs ahead by the end. Since it was so short, I just hit it as hard as I could with a high turnover. Wasn't quite sure how to handle the last 25m or so when it got shallow, probably should have done some dolphin diving but I tried to run instead. I also aimed straight for the shore instead of the last buoy as I figured it would be faster to run up the beach than swim in the waves and current.

Not much, maybe just the dolphin diving

Fairly lengthy run up from the beach to transition - time is approx but should be about right. This was the first time I had my shoes on the bike already and put them on while riding - I think it went pretty well but not perfect. Definitely faster than previous races.

More practice with the shoes

Hit the bike pretty hard - not all out but just under that. Felt pretty good throughout it. Did a flying dismount for the first time leaving the shoes on the bike, that worked pretty well and saved me a lot of time I think.

Nothing

Pretty happy with this, definitely better than any other I've done. Felt like I got in and out without wasting any time at all.

nothing

As usual, the run hurt me but it's getting better. I was in 2nd OA until about 1.5k to go then got passed by 3 guys.

Run more!

Not enough running


Didn't seem as organized as last year. There wasn't anyone at the mount/dismount line that was making it clear where the actual line was so there was confusion there. Also wasn't sure if the Olympic and Sprint were starting together until the last minute.
