Triangle Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Thought i had maybe done slightly better but reasonably happy with a 2 min/100 pace.. pleased with my sighting and passing quite a few of the participants from previous waves that started ahead was a morale booster.

T1 went well, ranked #1 in group and 88/364, so for a first ever transition pretty darn pleased overall with that.

Felt good on the bike and having ridden the course to practice twice before was nearly 5 mins faster than i had done previously, didn't feel like i overdid it but felt close to perhaps going a little too hard..

Pay more attention to how hard i push it and stay more within my zone..

Happy with T2 until i realized i had left my Garmin 305 on the bike and would have to pace myself on the run purely by feel.

Remember to put Garmin on wrist

Time was actually better than anticipated as i felt it was a poor run. Missed having my 305 to tell me my pace and could probably have paced it better and handled it better had i known. I walked at every aid station and it was only 3.1 mile run!!!.. not pleased about that but with an on-reflection thing i feel i probably overcooked it a little on the bike. I have done 25/3 mile bricks and felt a LOT better on the run.. so i missed my goal of 8 min miles... so although time wasnt terrible, it felt awful.

Pace better off the bike and remember GARMIN!

First ever tri for me, so hard to rate. It seemed like an excellent race and very well organised. The dreaded parking issues were a non issue for me as i arrived early, got a spot no problem and because i was a novice i was one of the last to start (and thus finish), plus i hung around for ceremonies as i got 3rd in my group!!.. yay yay!!.. Great first tri.
