Scenic City Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I think this time includes the run up to transition (which was kind-of long), but the overall performance of the swim was horrible. The water temp was about 10 degrees colder than what I have swam in. This was my first time swimming in a group and in open water (you could only see maybe 1 foot in front of you). I could not calm myself down!!! The breathing was bad. I did maybe 50 yards free-style and the rest was breast or back stroke.

Practice, Practice, Practice!!!!

This was that great, but was alright for my first time out of the swim.

I need a tri shirt that I will swim in. Spent what seemed like forever trying to get my shirt on after putting my heart rate monitor on. socks and shoes were fine. helmet and glasses fine.

This was a very good bike! I wanted to get above 17 mph for an average and I got 17.1! There were two big hills and the first I actually had to get off for a little bit and walk. My heart rate and breathing were very high, but they both came down pretty quickly and I pressed on. I made it up the second big hill without getting off, and I actually thought it was steeper.
I got some bad heart burn during the ride, not sure why. It might have to do with the regular Gatorade, in the water bottle, but not sure.

Nothing as far as training goes. Very happy with the ride

I would like to get some different gears that would be better for mountains. A lot of people got off and walked, but some made it up and I think if I had some smaller gears I could have made it.

I thought this was a very good transition.

Nothing much.

Solid time for the run for me. I did walk a lot, even if it was only for short periods.

Practice real bricks more.
Try and get my time that I am running to increase during a brick.

Nothing


Practice the swimming in open murky water more.


This was a great race! I would recommend it to anyone for a sprint.
