Rotary Pineapple Man Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

With the lack of training just went out to have fun and be steady, did better than I thought I would. Planned for a 14-15 T1 mat time. Had a few issues with swimmers I was drafting stopping and running into them. Also, after 1st buoy had the luck getting stuck behind a guy doing full breast stroke and to go wide around him. He was pissing off a lot of swimmers.

Train!

21/43, 218/720. Longer than it felt,not sure where I lost the time, think it was the fact that my rack was right at the T1 entrance, literally 2-3 yards away and had a long run with the bike with the bike shoes on. Some day I'll learn to jump on and get up to speed with the shoes already mounted.

This surprised me, last ride was 2 weeks ago. Used the light tailwind to push 23-25mph on the out and fought the tail wind for 20-22 on the return. Felt good the whole way, no leg issues at all.

Train and go faster!

7/43, 106/720. Had another great jumping off the bike into a full run into T2 to the rack. Slipped on the shoes grabbed my belt and visor and was out.

Bad run for me. Missed the 1/4 & 1/2mi markers I used in the past and went off of HR which was a mistake, thought 170 was high which is for a stand alone run Z4). But didn't think about running off of the bike with an elevated HR, pushed 180-188 after 2nd water station when I thought about the RPE wasn't close to being a 7-8. Lesson learned, forget the HRM next time and pay attention to the early distance markers.

Run harder, really could have thinking about it in hindsight.

Walked around a bit after finding my wife, water, massage, then had some pizza and beer and bs'd with the guys.


Lack of committed training


Had a 15 min late start due to fire rescue/life guard issue.
