Smith Point Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

All i can say that it was a washing machine! Easily the most violent swim in all the triathlons I've been in. I was being kicked and tackled early on as everyone, including me, was sprinting up front. I got kicked in the face twice, bumped into too many people and had to kick a guy off me. Overall i took it as a hard effort and thanks to the current my time was way off! I was able to hold a strong pace and sighted great except for the last buoy before the finish which i couldn't see XD. My time was skewed thanks to a current but gave me a tougher swim! Overall it was a warm swim and I hope to improve my swim for Tobay later this month!

Nothing

Got in and out quickly

Nothing

What can i say it was windy, very very very windy!!!! Started out with a great tailwind causing me to average 23-24 mph going south on William Floyd parkway. Got into the residential part and was averaging around 20-21 mph throughout. At some point during the bike ride it started raining making the roads real wet and slippery, oddly i couldn't tell when it started. Held a hard pace and hammered into the headwinds and i have to give a big thanks for all those houses and trees for blocking some! For it being really wet and slick out I was able to make my turns with perfection! Except for one turn where I nearly fell thanks to an ambiguous turn with no cones and me thinking I was going to crash into a car, i saved my own butt on that one and didn't even unclip! Getting back onto William Floyd the head wind was viscous! Absolutely deadly! It slowed me down to averaging 18 mph till i hit that last turn after the bridge back into the tail wind to finish the bike ride. On a side note i have to say i love a fast flat course though it had two bumps, the bridge twice and a small hill. I have to say also i wasn't ready for the non heat and drank a bit too much, puked a little in my mouth once >.< Overall im very happy with my bike and how i was able to hammer it, reading Maccas book helped a lot, attacking into the headwind and staying in a group/playing catch up helped a ton!

Drink less!

Just a small but quick hiccup putting my shoes on.

Nothing

Cramp! Cramp! CRAMP!!! Something happened which caused me to cramp and forced me to slow down, lost over a minute thanks to them! It thankfully was an easy course with only a hill so i didn't have to push my body too hard. I just told myself keep a steady pace and what ever you do Eddie DO NOT WALK!! I kept up with this and pushed through the cramp, luckily it didn't get worse till the end when i was kicking it in! I have to say thanks to the cramp i couldn't go as hard as i wanted to running but oh well thankfully it was only a B race.

Not cramp and drink less in cooler weather

Walked around and drank that crappy energy drink they gave me, better than nothing lol


cramping in the run, could have broke 1:11:00 but oh well I'm happy with my overall performance so no real complaints. I can't wait till the hillier races in the up coming months!


Great race, great energy and great miserable weather! Hey the bad weather helps me push myself! I'm relatively satisfied and real happy with my bike and aim to improve it more!
