Tri Cowtown Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

The swim was a blur to me. I just jumped in the water and started swimming until I was done. I did FS the whole way. My breathing was pretty good for no warmup. I was pretty relaxed. I let a few people pass and then a few passed on their own. I did not feel winded when I exited.

Remember that it is a race and swim a little faster. Concentrate more on technique so I am more efficient and kick harder.

My first transition. Even though it was cold outside, I was warm after I dried my arms and legs. I took longer than I needed because I was trying to decide whether to add clothing.

Be more organized.

I didn't really look at my Garmin. I concentrated on how I was feeling and tried to simulate my training. I felt like it was a pretty good ride for me. A few people passed me at the beginning, but at the end I passed a few too.

I would remember that it is a race and concentrate a little more on faster speed.

My neighbor had put her bike in my spot. It was a bit of a struggle to move it and get mine racked.

Just pick up the pace a little.

I should have done some sprints on the run. I had too much energy left when I finished. I could have done a little better on time, but I didn't realize it until after it was over.

Just keep doing my training.

I walked around and worked on clearing the fog from my brain.


Not thinking about it being a race. Just need more training time.


Since this is my first one, I don't have anything to compare it too. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Things ran on time. Course was well marked.
