Richmond Tri Club Sprint Presented by 3Sports - TriathlonSprint

Not much energy for the swim. Didn't get passed and didn't pass anyone.

Getting swim coaching from Laure Ray at Peluso Open Water Master program. Hoping to see my times improve.

37th out of 133 males so not bad. Wore tri shoes for the first time but didn't attach them to pedals this time since I hadn't practiced or brought any rubber bands. Passed 3 or 4 people from my rack during T1.

Could have been faster if I didn't have to put shoes on. Will be prepared for that next time.

One of my slowest times on this course but only by a little. Over the last 6 races on this course I have gone from 37:07 to 38:46.

Always my weakest area. It must be the bike. If I had a carbon frame with DA I am sure I would be much better ;)
I have not ridden as many hrs or distance this summer.

27th out of 133 Men. I had slipped out of my tri shoes before dismount and executed a moving dismount. Lost my left shoe during dismount somehow and decided not to go back and retrieve it. Ran to the rack and had a little trouble getting my cold, wet, feet into my shoes. The insole in the shoe bunched up a little up front but smooth back out aver the first mile.

Practice shoes off and dismounts. Leave towel out to dry feet. Powder in running shoes.

Decent run but I could have done better. I don't remember anyone passing me and all the people I passed were much slower that I was so there was no motivations for the chase.

Run harder and push myself.

Ended up with 3rd in my AG - M45-49. I thought I was 4th because I didn't realized that one of the guys in the AG got picked up in the Masters category. I would have been really surprised when they called me up to the podium but I missed out because I had to leave at 10am.


Great race and venue. The Sept date is much better than the old July date.
