TRI for FUN Triathlon #3 - TriathlonSprint

The swim went well, I was able to keep my head in the game and continue forward movement. I rarely did a breast stroke, and was able to power in to the finish from the last 25 yards or so--that's a first! Also a first--I actually passed people!

I am still very uncomfortable with swimming in a large group of people--I would stop whenever I was in a pocket of people...something to work on, as well as drafting

Suit came off fairly well, but I had decided to put the tri-top on AFTER the swim--it didn't want to play along, and I kept dropping it.

Just swim with the tri-top on! Continue to work on wetsuit removal.

I am overall pleased with my biking, I was passing many people; however some were also passing me on the uphills--luckily my bike goes VERY fast downhill, so I usually caught them.

Work on getting uphill in a more efficient, speedy manner. Overall, continue training for speed in general.

I was having issues remembering what I needed, but I did okay.

practice transitions.

I felt really good on my run. I actually ran about 3/4 of the run rather than giving up and walking often. I found myself running past and beyond the 'goal points' that I planned. I was quite happy with this run.

Keep on training, aim for longer distances of running without breaks.

Walked around expo, ate some pasta and watermelon (best treat ever!)


My training, I need to train harder--as in doing my training as if its a race, not just lollygagging through it.


TBF is very organized--at least it looks that way from the 2 races I have done with them this year. Rancho Seco is a good place to do the races, I just wish they could close it off to traffic.
