Iron Girl Syracuse Women's Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I just took it slow and steady; did not want to panic. I was there to do the best of my ability, knowing I would not be the first out of the water. I actually stayed on the inside of the course and suprisingly not kicked too badly. I think most of the women went farther on the left side of the course.

Nothing. I am very happy with my results as I am still a beginner. I remained calm and I did not have to stop to rest. I did switch to backstroke 2x but only for about 30-60 seconds.

I only have cage peddles so I did not have to worry about clipless shoes. The run from the swim to the bike seemed very long. Was able to run the entire time.

Not sure; I felt I gave it 100%. Glad I brought a bucket to sit on to put on my sneakers.

Went all out on the bike. The bike is my strongest disciplin so I gave it all I could. It had started to rain at one point, but I did not panic. I passed at least 40 women. The only women that passed me had tri-bikes.

Nothing; very happy with my time. Beat my pr from practice.

I was super fast getting off the bike and out of my helmet. I did have to ask someone which way we ran out. She was kind of a snot about it, but whatever.

Figure out where you run out of transition. I was so nervous before the race that I forgot to check it out.

Fairly happy with the run. I am not a runner, so I was expecting to come in around 40 minutes. Considering my best 5K time was 36 minutes, I was very pleased with running the course in 37 minutes. If it weren't for the amazing crowd I would have probably walked a bit more

Run faster!

I was on cloud 9. Accepted my meddle and a sports drink. Found my family and got teary eyed. This race was a huge accomplishment for me and I was very proud.


I am not sure; I feel like I gave it my all and then some. Next year I plan to come back leaner and stronger.


Loved it! I am smiling in almost every single picture that was taken. Can't wait to do it again next year.
