Generations Triathlon & Duathlon - TriathlonSprint

Was surprised at how well I swam. I felt confident that I would complete the swim ok, but actually swam at a good steady pace and beat around 6 swimmers from the final wave out of the pool.

First time with swim cap on. Seal with my goggles was good, but I got a little water in. Would like to get a better seal. Perhaps putting the seal for the goggles under the lip of the cap would work better.

Time is included in bike time for both transition 1 and transition 2.

Had trouble with the first bike shoe and started to put helmet on before putting jersey on.

a tri suit looks like it would speed up the transition from swim to bike.

Time is included in bike time for both transition 1 and transition 2.

Was not ready for the first lap marker stop. Had to stop in high gear and had a little trouble clipping back in.

Drink a little more water - lead to a slight cramp at the beginning of the run. (was able to shed the cramp in the 1st half mile of the run with breathing and a cup of water).

If I start in a late wave, look to see where there is a marker stop - if applicable.

nothing, quick transition! Even ate GU super quick!

Heavy Jelly legs for the first mile. Found the run a lot tougher than I pictured it being. Mostly from the Jelly legs. Also had a small cramp that I was able to shake in the first 1/2 mile with breathing and a water stop.

Worked well with another runner to pass 3 runners and put distance on them.

Finished strong, although did not have enough to put a hard sprint on to the finish.

Understand the heavy jelly leg feeling and drink more water at the beginning of the run or transition.

Walked to bike rack and put on a hat. Drank water, stretched, and clapped for others finishing.


Very happy with finish and time. Only felt I lost time in the first transition, but not very much time lost.


Liked the race. It was a all ages triathlon in conjunction with the Arizona Senior Olympics, so there were a lot more older folks. It was well run, except for a slow check in that led to the start times running behind.
