Marshman Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

This was a rough swim as I never got into a rhythm. I was bumping people the whole time and was stopping to look for a path to swim. (So my sighting was great :) I was not happy with my swim while in the water--when I looked at watch I was right on pace this gave me a little boost.

get to the front and swim hard--I felt like I put forth little effort

got through T1 good but had trouble mounting my bike and lost some time...this caused me to push for 30 secords to separate myself from a pack.

need to work on my mounts--this was a slight up hill start.
Flying mounts would save time for me also

felt good most of the ride...held back some hoping for a good run. I worked the hills but was maybe a little off on the rest of the course pushing my speed (I was a minute slower this year.)

push the whole ride and have faith in my run

good transistion for me....had to put a sock on my foot due to an injury so this cost me a few seconds.

Need to figure this out in the off season how to knock a few more seconds off

I started out running as planned but when I hit the first incline on the trail my mind and body started to have some doubt.....end up walking and running the first mile.....ran the second mile back. I felt the ride in my legs on the run back but I pushed through.

I need to just run and stop thinking about things (pains and discomfort)

my foot/sock/shoe was bothering me from my injury and was not comfortable.

crossed the line and smiled since it was an improvemnt over the prior year


injury to foot
need to RUN and forget about everything else (mental)
very little training the week prior to the race


this was almost a five minute improvement from last year--but know I still have room for improvement (especially on the run)
