Tri For Life - TriathlonSprint

ugh, I can swim so much better in a pool. I have yet to swim a solid open water swim.

Try to practice in open water, not just a pool.

Pretty long path from lake to transition

There was a hill towards the end that I shifted very poorly - bummer.

Train more on the bike

This was my first race using clip-on pedals and shoes. I faltered getting out

Practice biking more and clipping shoes in/out

slow, slow, slow as usual

run more

walk, stretch calf, hydrate w/ water


I was diagnosed with adult onset asthma 3 weeks before the event. I was putting in the time with my training program but not making very good progress. I thought it was seasonal allergies but I finally went to a specialist who diagnosed me with asthma. This explained a lot and hopefully I will do better next time.


I liked this race and it was close to home.
