Tri/Run the Wildwoods - TriathlonSprint

I didn't prepare enough for the swim. I didn't notice the water to be cold or shocking but I never got into a rhythm. I even ended up doing the back stroke on two occasions in an attempt to steady my breathing and try to start a rhythm.

Preparation. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

Good transition. Could have been better in that I fumbled around looking for my sunglasses in my bag

A better job of laying gear out in the order in which I will need it. I'd also like to find a way to run faster off the beach thru T1.

Course was crowded. My pace was ok. I am not is as good shape as I was during my last triathlon.

A little more work on what cadence works best for me.

I have to work on dismounting from the bike. I realized when attempting to dismount that I don't know what I am doing.

Practice dismount.

Running what I have the most experience with by a simple 3 mile run after the swim and bike is never easy. I felt OK and my time reflects that. I could do a lot better.

Increase stamania and work on a longer stride even when tired.

Slug a bottle of water and walk around looking for my wife


Lack of training. Weight.


This race if phenomenal in the amount of attention to detail and personalization that is spread throughout it. The post race breakfast buffet is awesome as well.
