TriZou Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

passed a few people, felt good

work on swimming endurance so I can make it the whole way with freestyle... did pass people with breaststroke while they were freestyling (not singing).

not shown as a time on the website... must be included in the bike...

learn some of the fancy techniques... I have road bike shoes so they aren't that easy to get on/off compared to tri shoes. Maybe train my feet to be able to get by without socks. Practice transitions.

Long run around track from T1 area (bike exit on exact opposite side of track from transition area). Took a gel while running from T1 to bike exit. Passed a bunch of people (especially on climbs). Not passed once. Felt good for whole ride.

Remember my water bottle for the bike.

Got one foot out before bike dismount... not enough time to get second one out.

again... learn transitions... practice.

Felt good. One gel about 1 mile in from aid station (and water). Once legs felt normal again, I felt pretty good on the run. My running pace has increased from all of this cross-training and learning how to run correctly (just started using Newton trainers). Had enough in the tank to take off for last 200 yards.

Not much, felt pretty good. With more training, I feel that I'll get faster.

Had to stand still right after crossing finish line so that they could get the timing chip off. After that, got my pint glass, bottled water and pizza. Walked around a bit.


Just training. I feel that swim time will improve once I can maintain a freestyle stroke for the whole time.


Great first race for anyone wanting to tri. This was my first tri and I'll be sure to race again next year to see how much I improve over the year.
