Reeds Lake Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Swimming is just something I have to get better at. My navigation going out to the first buoy was poor due to not sighting enough. I was off course to the right a couple of times and had to adjust myself. I think I need to push harder during the swim so I can make up some ground on the faster swimmers. I wasn't tired or gassed after coming out of the water so that was good.

Push harder and sight a little bit more often.

I think I need to start clipping my shoes on my bike and running through the transition barefoot. Losing some seconds putting my cycling shoes on and then trying to run in them.

This was the first time racing with my new aero bars and wheelset. All I can say is what a difference! I was able to shave over 5 minutes off of my time from last year. I felt strong on the bike and there were 2 other guys that kept trading spots with me on the course and I was not passed once. Some people had a hard time staying to the left or right and a few were riding down the middle so I had to work my way around.

Nothing

Nothing to note on T2....wasn't great but wasn't bad

Felt a little tired the first mile but settled in after that and was fine. I thought I could have pushed a little harder but overall I am happy with my run. I was able to shave over 2 minutes off my time from last year and was only passed by 1 person.

Push a little harder towards the end.

Grabbed some Gatorade and a bar. Saw my father-in-law and talked with him while we waited for my wife and sister to finish.


The swim portion and I know it is something I have to work on to get better.


I was extremely pleased with my overall performance today and was excited to be racing with my wife and sister. Reed's Lake has been my favorite triathlon both last year and this year. The atmosphere and excitement is great and the crowd support and volunteers are also terrific. The weather was perfect and I really enjoyed myself. I can't wait to come back next year!
