King Tut Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Horrible swim. I jumped in and felt ok, the water was cold but not unbearable. swam the 25 yards or so to the start line and waited. Maybe 100 yards into it started feeling bad, some mild panic but that was controllable. I never got my breathing right and navigation was spotty. I ended up on my back allot, some sculling some back stroke.

More OWS, more wetsuit swims, this was my first race in a wetsuit. Longer swims

A long uphill run out of the lake to T1 on concrete, sort of slow getting up to speed. I had fallen getting out of the water and took a few seconds to get my legs back under me

Work on getting out of the water and running without being dizzy or falling in front of race photographers as they are shooting

The bike went fine, I passed allot of riders. I was cold of course, I need to be better prepared for cold rides or enter tri's later in the summer. I am ok with my pace for this ride, I had recently upped my miles per week and upped my intensity so it shows in my pace. I made good time in the corners I think, drawing on my past criterium experience

not much-train more

This was an uphill finish to t2 and a little dicey in traffic so my slick dismount was stunted. My spot was at the opposite end of the TA, but ok time anyway.

Wear my race belt under my wet suit and safe a bit of time.

Good run for me. Toes were numb from being cold off the bike but I ignored them. I hot the turn around at 13 even so I felt confident that I would get my under 30 goal. My best event run ever!

nothing

The usual milling around until the TA opens, cool off until I'm cold again the put more clothes on.


That freaking swim? I think a 1:15 finish was in my reach if I hadn't floundered in the water


Overall a good race. It seem every time I have a triathlon the weather turns cold just before. I will try to keep that in mind when I am suffering at Branson in September. I need to HTFU about the weather
