Tri Cowtown Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

This was exactly where i planned for it to be. I was hoping to be under 5:15. I actually could have gone a little faster, but the lanes got backed up in a couple places.

Nothing

Could have been faster but i couldn't get long sleeves on my wet arms. Wouldn't have been a problem on a warmer day but I'm glad i had the warmth on such a cold day.

Just move quicker. I didn't want to forget anything, so I was probably slower than necessary.

About 1 mile in I dropped my chain. I wasted about 1:30 or so to get it back on. Once I got back up to speed all went well. I wasn't expecting "Nice Hill" which took me by suprise.

Train harder on the Bike.

Went well. Took some time to drink some gatorade.

I would probably try to drink my gatorade towards the end of the bike, so I wouldn't have to do it during T2.

I felt like was going slow, but it turns out my time was a little better than I expected.

I would probably push a little harder on the last mile, and sprint to the finish.

Drank some fluids, and ate some pizza. The weather was cold so cooling down was no problem.


This was my first Triathlon, and I was worried about the swim portion so I put in a lot of swims during my 2 month training period. Next time I'll concentrate more on the Bike, and less on the swim.


I have nothing to compare it to since it was my first, but i had a great time. The only thing that could have made it better would have been better weather.
