5430 Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

The swim went about as expected. I had a little problem with all the comotion at the start, but wasn't too bad for my first OWS mass start with so many people. There was a heavy smell of fuel about 2/3 into the course, and the water was very murky.

Train more in my wet suit. Maybe get a sleeveless.

Could have been faster, but I took my time to catch breath and make sure I didn't forget anything.

Not much. This is what I wanted to do. Collect myself so I could have a good bike.

Bike went well. I could have been a little faster off the bat, but once I found my groove I was pleased. I should have pushed a little harder and tried to get closer to 21-22 mph.

Work harder on the first 7 miles of climbing. Other than that, it was a good ride, I worked hard and passed a whole lot of people.

There were some incredibly strong people out there. I was passed most often when I was going 26+ MPH.

Good smooth transition. My butt hurt coming out of transition. Rode Hard!!!.

Nothing

I felt o.k. I still haven't found my speed this year. I was comfortable. Maybe that is my problem. I also didn't like the rocky course. Didn't agree too much with my feet.

Overall I am very happy with my run since I though I had worked too hard on the bike.

Not much. Maybe push a little harder.

Got some water, and some bananas and just walked around. Sat down with my wife and in-laws and then packed up the bike and transition area.


Could train more. I'm happy with my race. For my first OW Tri I though I did well so I am not worried about going faster. It was a blast and that is what I really needed.


This was an amazingly well run race. I liked the course and I liked how things were run. I will definitely do this again next year and maybe try for the Olympic (Boulder Peak). It was nice to see fellow BTrs. They did great.
