Alpha Delta Pi-athlon: A Unique Triathlon Challenge - TriathlonSprint

A little disappointed in my swim time. I was swimming about 5 seconds a lap quicker in training. I passed 3 people and 1 passed me.

Not sure. I'd like to start doing underwater turns. I really think this will help improve my overall time.

Fairly happy with T1. I could have ran a little harder to my bike but was afraid of aggravating my left foot tendonitis. Had difficulty clipping in. Also, my gear was not set like I thought it was for a quick acceleration. I was also bummed about my lack luster swim performance. New helmet went on quick. Race belt did as well. New transition area set-up this year so I had to run further to my bike.

Definitely run harder. Ride my bike before the race starts to assure my gear is properly set.

Had to navigate through traffic a little but not a major issue. Traffic control was horrible at Main Street and Rutherford Blvd. coming back in. I managed through it safely but others were going the wrong way which caused some risk. The course was smooth and fast. I passed many people. Very pleased with my performance. Time should get better with new TT bike.

Be more aggressive in dismounting and running in my bike shoes.

Coming into T2, I was cut off by 2 people trying to get back by me. I think I pissed them off getting through the traffic nightmare and I passed them. Running in my bike shoes is average at best. Definitely need to get an end spot on the rack. Much easier to mount/dismount bike from rack. Had no trouble locating my area.

Might try clipping in shoes and inserting feet into shoes while on bike. this will take a lot of practice. Running is bike shoes is very slow. Taking off helmet, changing out shoes and putting on visor all went very well. Except for getting cut off, I was very pleased.

Basically I was too slow. I felt very good coming out of T2 and let my legs get underneath me a little before I picked up my speed. But my speed was not there as I thought it would be. My performance was less than good for me as I was A LOT quicker during brick training. I'm not sure what happened except that I pushed it too hard on the bike. I was really struggling at the end of the run. Disappointed to say the least.

I need to train outside for my bricks as much as possible. The weather may have had an impact on me. I took a water bottle on the run this year. Need to practice without one if possible.

None.


Inadequate training. Need to be outside. Need to get mentally focused more before the race and not talk as much.


Overall I was very pleased with my performance. I was quicker by 3 minutes from last year but part of this is simply a shorter run course. This race is becoming very popular and they will most likely have to change the course and cap the number of participants. Had a few professional racers this year which was pretty cool. If I could just get my running better, my overall place will drastically improve. Thank you God for giving me strength, speed and safety! All Glory to Him!
