South Carroll Tri-to-Win Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Great volunteers flipping numbers.

I would trust myself and push harder. I took it way too easy.

I was happy with my transition time. I had plenty of strength left from the swim so I went pretty quickly into transition.

Learn to bike without socks. They are a time killer.

Pushed myself pretty well out there. Was going to try to hold a 20 MPH average but the hills were more than I remembered. Still felt pretty good and managed to keep everyone from passing me.

Push a little harder going up the long hill. I slowed down a lot.

Long run around transition. Bike dismount was in the front and entered in the back of transition. Ran in racked my bike threw on the shoes (new laces worked great) and grabbed a quick sip of gatorade.

Get out of biking shoes at the beginning of the transition run. I could go a lot quicker without biking shoes on.

Felt good but hot. Kept a good pace for myself and had some left at the finish for the last hill of the day. Was going to not drink anything so I could keep a good pace. Actually grabbed water twice. More water went on my head than in my mouth. Needed it too cool myself.

Nothing. It was a good run.

Gatorade and some oranges. Talked with my parent's and my wife. Then we sat around and cheered other finishers. There weren't many people left out on the course. With a start time of 9, I was close to the end of the people going out there.


Need to learn to swim. Other than that it was a good day for me.


This is by far one of my favorite races. The organizers are just great to work with. Lots of fun out there with both the volunteers and racers. The only bad thing is they ran out of pizza. The last 10 or so finishers didn't have an option. Still the organizers were surprised how quickly the pizza disappeared. It is hard to manage food and they had plenty of everything else.
