Cool Breeze Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Other than the one flip turn, I wouldn't have changed anything I did. I did dolphin kick too and was strong the entire time.

The cold weather effected my feet from getting into my shoes somewhat. I still need to work on getting my Transition times down, esp on T2

Nothing

Felt strong ALL the way through this bike course. I like having the aero water bottle on the bike, it helps. I also learned how to use the thing correctly from another club member, David. I place the sponge in the large opening and the straw into the hole. Don't know why I didn't think of this before, but now it doesn't splash all over the place.

Nothing, very happy with my time on this and I hit all the hills as hard as I could.

Frozen feet made it difficult for me to get my feet into my running shoes. Plus, the trash bag I used to cover my stuff covered my racing belt and I forgot to put it on. Which turns out to be a 2-minute penalty.

I still would not have worn socks with such a short race, but I will make a better effort to place my racing belt AROUND my shoes so I don't do such a thing again.

A little wobbly at T2 with frozen feet, but after a couple minutes they warmed up and it seems after the 2nd loop I had felt a surge and just stayed with it to the end.

Nothing. This was my best run time in an event I've had since I started doing triathlons. It's also what placed me the 1st in my AG.

Walked around and drank plenty of water.


I have to say I enjoyed this race, despite the weather. Physically I was there 100%.


Setup Events always does a great job. Most people know this time of the year the weather is crazy.

I'm including my "real" time in this, not the 1:13:35 w/ my penalty for not wearing my race belt! Dumb
