Dog Days of Summer Sprint Tri - TriathlonSprint

They tried to put people in about 10-15seconds apart to ensure not a lot of overlap but it wasn't enough. It would have been OK except we were warned that we would be DQed if we passed mid-lane. Got stuck behind someone slow early on, got passed by a couple people which was fine except that instead of just tapping my foot they actually grabbed it - one guy multiple times. Super annoying. Swim is definitely my weakness but overall it was OK.

Need to improve my swim, period.

LONG run to T1 - kind of frustrating. But overall I was happy with how T1 went for me.

Nothing, at least nothing that I could change.

I really pushed the bike and was afraid I would pay for it on the run but I was able to maintain. Definitely was running Zn 4/5 and could tell I was exerting a lot of effort. The few people that passed me in the swim I pretty much all passed back on the bike along with a lot of other people. Had a couple of issues with the police letting cars through when they shouldn't have and almost got hit but overall there was little traffic and the course was well marked.

Nothing, super happy with my ride. Great job keeping my cadence up high.

Felt pretty good; took a minute to encourage my teammate in my rack (we finished the bike together) and dump some cold water on my head from my water bottle.

Maybe put my shoes on a bit faster and hustle a little more, but overall pretty good.

Thought I was going to bonk due to not taking in much nutrition on the bike and not a lot of fluid. Decided not to focus on my pace for a while - when I finally did I was running around 7:45 or 8. Saw a couple friends which was motivating and really started focusing on picking people off. Really starting pushing it after the turn around. Finished strong.

Take in more nutrition throughout but overall a great run.

Water, juice smoothie, walked around and talked to people. Got a massage. Stretched a bit (but should have done more).


A little better nutrition on the bike, work on my swimming. It was my first podium finish ever in a tri so really, I'm pretty happy.


There was definitely some confusion from volunteers about what they should be doing, how to direct. Some awkwardness with the opening to transition being narrow (this was also run out) and people taking bikes out of transition while people were still racing - they should have not allowed that until everyone was off the bike course. Race food was not great at all and would have preferred something other than bagels, bananas and burritos. We also had to ask this morning where the mount line was (there was a dismount sign but not mount sign).
