Subaru West Coast Triathlon Series Shawnigan Lake - TriathlonSprint

Didn't have much swim practice before (ear infec) so i was very slow but still really enjoyed it. Need to practice more!

Practice/train much more.

I took my time (first every triathlon) and could definitely speed up in this section more.

Be quicker, don't dry off so much, try and run with bike.

Used my camel back for the bike section and glad i did because i find it hard to pull out my water bottle. Also only one drink station and it was right on the peak of the big hill midway, which was very hard to grab!

Go a bit harder.

I fell over on the steep carpeted trail back to transition with my bike. Legs just too wobbly on such a steep hill! Knocked my confidence a bit but i was fine.

Again, first time doing this so took my time to make sure my laces were done etc and i had everything i needed. Grabbed my hat and glad i did as the run course was lovely but hot and sunny.

I almost went the wrong way into the run, probably added on about 30 secs to my time, oops! Wish volunteers/officials would have provided more guidance.

More practice, get quicker.

I really need to work on my running. I did a few brick sessions, but clearly need to do more to get used to the dead leg feeling. Again though, this race was kind of a practice for me, so i was still really happy!

Train more to work on speed and brick sessions.

i had to bike back to where my car was, 7km around the lake again. Did some stretches, then drove home.


Was really taking it easy to just see if i could finish. Think I could have gone a lot faster in all sections if I'd prepared myself a little more.


Great course, friendly, although organization could have been better (or volunteers could have been a bit more vocal about things i guess!). But do this one, it was great fun! Got awesome K Swiss top in race bag too :)
