Peterborough Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I swam this pretty much all out. I had very little left at the end and couldn't wait to get out of the water. I hate swimming in wetsuits (although they are free speed) especially when the water is this warm. I don't know the exact temp, but it must have been at least 21C (70F) probably warmer.

The swim back to shore was into the sun. Had trouble seeing the course markers. Just followed other people's feet/splashing.

It would be nice to draft better. I basically swam the whole thing on my own, except for the first 200m or so. I ran into one of the course markers, it would be nice not to do that :)

Wet feet slipped off the top of the shoes. Gave me a bit of a scare right off the bat. Got the feet in and off I went.

Nothing

My legs were a bit out of it for the first few kms, but I slowed the pace down and they came around. I felt better and better on the bike. Drank the entire bottle, but it was not enough. It was really hot.

bigger bottle and drink more.

Left calf cramped when I tried to put the running shoe on. Had to sit down and stretch it out. Cost me few seconds.

Wish I didn't have to sit down.

I knew I was going slow, but that was all I had left. It was hot and I couldn't wait for the run to be over.

Wish I had a little more left on the run. 21:00 would have been perfect.

Walk though the misting tent, eat some food. Take a swim in the lake, sans wetsuit to cool off.


I might have went too hard on the bike, but I'm not quite sure if I could have offset the time lost on the bike on the run.

Heat was definitely a factor.


Good Race. I was hoping for a 1:16 with 1:13 being absolute best case and I came pretty close to that. Very happy with the race, but wish I had more left on the run. Need to bike more.
