Cooper Fall-Out Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

First time swimming in a 50 meter pool. I was slow, but I expected that. I actually passed quite a few people. It got really jammed up at the walls, with people resting. My feet were numb from standing on the cold pool deck and took a couple of laps to get feeling back.

More swimming lessons.

I managed to throw on a bunch of clothes faster than I thought possible, Running with my bike in my cleats was a joke, I think I would have been faster walking.

I was much. much slower than I thought I was. My bike computer was not working, but I really thought I was much faster. Passed a lot of people. Overall I was disappointed to average ~2 miles slower than my normal, long rides.

Need to practice getting off and running with the bike.

I barely felt I was moving the entire run. My legs felt heavy and numb until halfway through. I was pleasantly surprised by my time, I expected much slower. My left calf cramped up the last 1/2 mile. Achilles was fine the entire time.

This was my first time to run after biking, so I really need to do more of it.

Put on a whole bunch of clothes!


Overall I was happy with the results since it was my first. I know I need to keep working on the swimming. I learned a lot, and next time will be better.
