Niagara Triathlon - Sprint Course - TriathlonSprint

First time I have ever panicked in open water. Almost quit, sucked it up and did breast stroke most of the rest of the way.

Really not sure - perhaps just more mass starts will help.

Overall transition time was slow, but better than last year. The bike rack was too low which made it difficult to unrack the bike.

I'd love to learn how to get shoes on while riding. Also, getting a tri suit next year so won't waste time getting my shorts on.

This was the best part of the race. In retrospect I could have and should have pushed harder. Thrilled to have cycled up THE HILL - last year I had to walk. A big improvement, though, from last year and I did not have dead legs for the run.

Push it harder.

This was slower than last year because I changed shoes this year. I still have not mastered the fast dismount or the quick shoe change.

Practce the shoe change - this was a really slow transition time.

Still seems slow overall compared to others, but for me, this was a good performance. I wanted to hit 49 minutes, but a huge improvement over last year.

Still need more training.

Collapse!


Fitness and training - and the panic in the water


I like the race, but it's the only one I have done, so not much to compare it to. I improved on last year by 24 minutes, so pretty stoked about that!
