Desert Triathlon - Sprint Distance - TriathlonSprint

Alot of contact on the first leg, more contact than I've experienced in previous races. I started in the very front for this race, my other races I started in the middle. I think that explains the crowd and contact.



Maybe start in the middle of the pack.

I just have to work on every part of this transition to improve here. A little trouble with my suit. I held back some coming out of the water and up the ramp.



Practice this transition more before race day.

I rode pretty hard. A good ride overall. I need to pick up my time on the bike. I did alot of indoor training and I'll do more outdoor training for my next race.



I'm not really sure what I could have done differently except adjust my training. I need to do more bike to run bricks.

A pretty good transition. I was pretty beat after the ride and walked out of the lot.



I know there is room for improvement. Again, more bike to run bricks would help.

I was a bit worn down by the time the run started. I walked a couple of times. I estimate that I walked about 1/2 mile alltogether. I ran with everything I had left the last 1/8 mile.


More bike to run bricks.

I walked around, stretched a little and sat in the grass.





Well, I'll say it once more, I need to do more bike to run bricks.
Also, I will be doing less indoor bike training and more actual training on the bike.
I looked at my HR monitor after the race. My max HR was 209. I know this occurred on the run. That's too high for a man my age. I have to watch it.




I burned over 1800 calories.
