Long Beach Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Got into the water with a mass of over 120 guys, so it was pretty crowded. Bumped and jostled virtually the whole time, but no major problems. Swam and breathed well, kept a good pace and rhythm. After noting my time and the way I felt, I could have gone a little harder. happy with my swim.

I am going to go out in the front so there is not such a mass of people around me.

long run from the beach up to the T area. otherwise, fine. First time with the clip in shoes and new bike, so it took a few seconds, but not much time.

just do it faster

With my new bike I was expecting to cut some time off my first 2 races. Something must have been different because I felt like i was flying, but my time was the same. No worries, more training on the bike and I'll have a much faster time next time.

go harder, I had a lot of energy at end of race

first time getting out of the clip in pedals, had to make sure I didn't fall off, so that was good. shoes on quickly, felt fine.

I started off slow as i am recovering from a calf pull/cramp. Realized about 1/2 way through that it was fine, so i upped my pace. Was running almost full out the last 1/2 mile, so I know i could have gone a lot faster. happy with the run

run faster from the start, shoot for a 7 1/2 min mile pace

walked around and stretched, had some water.


nothing.


I enjoyed this race and the event. weather could have been better, but can't control that. Noticed that they sent off 2 age groups at a time, so there were a lot of people in the water for our wave.
