Chaska River City Days Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Did a much better job on sighting this time. Also handled the contact better. I was happy with my swim.

Glasses fogged over with the high humidty the second I put them on. I have never had them fog up on me before. They cleared up some once I started moving, but remained slightly foggy the entire way through the bike.

Need to try out going sockless.

Bike went well, nothing unexpected. Brought a water bottle with and took a drink 3 times.

I probably should have put the pro 3 tires on my bike that I just bought, but left the gatorskins on. Also, looking into getting a tri bike rather than using a road bike.

I forgot to untie my shoes, so wasted time getting them untied.

I have some yankz that I need to start using rather than dealing with shoe laces.

I was getting a side stitch as I was nearing the top of the hill. I am not sure if this was due to drinking too much water (although I didn't think I drank much) or just the difficulty of pushing up the hill. I had to take it a little easier than I planned for about a mile so that it didn't get worse. Once I started heading down the hill it went away.

push harder.

walked around the finsih line area.


Need to work on correcting my swim stroke. I think I need to push a little harder throughout the race. It may just have been the end of the run being downhill, but I felt I still had a lot left coming into the finish line.


There were a lot of volunteers and it was very well organized.
