Quad Cities Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Was not able to breath; Like body went into shock or something. Started to compensate approximately 300 yards in. Was able to pull in back together again. Very disappointing as this was going to be a strong suit as a swimmer.

Had purchased and used a wetsuit *** It saved my bacon helping me float**

Did breaststroke to help with my breathing

Do some open water practice before hand - will be looking for somewhere to practice this. Also should have gotten in the water to try to acclimatize myself to it before the official start.

Lost approximately 3-4 min...live and learn for the next one LOL

First real transition type Triathlon - took extra needed time to help catch my breathe from my swim leg

Socks or no socks? Maybe some glide lotion to aide in getting wetsuit off or maybe just not attempt to use them in the future? Still learning so not going to sweat it alot

Was able to get feet out of clipps just before dismount area. Did well getting off bike but because transition area is on a cement paved hill clips were sliding while try to run.

Train harder to be able avg. high speed. Practice putting feet in shoes while ride and better dismounting. Will also

Happy with this transition; not lot I had to do on this one just lose my helmet and change from clips into running shoes. Went well

Still learning

I did very close to what my expectation were for my first outdoor Triathlon

Train way more!!!!

none
