Napoleon Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

time presented prior to race was 11:00, but later learned this was my 750 yd time NOT my 750 M time...so this accounted for what I thought was my poor performance in the water. Plus first time in 50 M long course....not soo many walls to push off.

get in the pool more often....was just the 2nd time in the pool in nearly 6 weeks....due to being too busy, 2 weeks in florida on vac., and the pool being closed a few times.

Had a hard time getting shirt on wet body...same with the socks.

drink more water prior to the bike.

I felt great on the bike and I was pushing it hard and loved watching my average speed keep climbing the whole race.

drink more on the bike to get ready for the run.

Had to run about 100 yds in the transition area with cycling shoes on and when I went to put my running shoes on my calves started to cramp.

drink more water earlier in the race....I didn't drink any during the race until now.

Calves were really crampy and tight coming out of the transition area...so I ran pretty slow trying not to push it too hard so I didn't cramp up...that was the last thing I wanted to do. As the run went on my legs felt much better...I should have drank something before and during the bike segment, it was why I was crampy at the beginning of the run. I did feel pretty good by the end of the run.

drink more earlier in the race.

3-4 bananas and 60-75 oz of water....plenty of walking and a little stretching. Overall I felt pretty good after the race.


training and lack H2O during the early portion of the race.


Just the 2nd year for the small race, growing and getting better each year
