Salem Spring Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Got out quick the first ~200. 2 guys got off the front and one other I was swimming to the left of. Since we were going the same speed I decided to draft but his navigation was not to good, after only 50ish yards, so I went it alone the rest of the way and did not see him after that.

Bring darker goggles because the sun was in your face the way out. Had to use the mountains in the back ground to guide at first. This worked really well.

Once into transition, was quick. Transition time was tied for the fastest of the day.

Nothing.

Had a hard time getting into cycling mode. Much better the second loop. Felt like I could have done better but just was not my normal self for some reason. First race in a while so I guess to be expected.

Keep power spikes down a bit more on hills.

Had a little trouble getting left foot out of shoe. Needed to get it out and on top of shoe before dismount line. So need to judge it better. Got helmet off and into shoes really well with 4th fastest T2 time by 3".

Get feet on top of shoes sooneer.

The way my legs felt I am ok with this run. Took a long time until I felt like I was actually running and not speed walking. Tried to not go out very hard and pay for it later. Got to feeling decent when I could stretch out on a downhill.

Nothing. For now my running is ok but need to get this a lot faster.

Walk, and some jogging.


Lack of racing and probably could use some shorter intervals in running.


Well run race that I will do again. Felt I did ok ending up 3rd AGer behind the Pro/Elites.
