Power Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Good swim and caught me off guard with the salt water. Learned about toe tapping for passing and also how to pass without toe tapping which takes a little more out of you :)

Not much really, it was my first tri and the snake swim was a good learning tool and I know if I get tapped to mover over. Learn something new everyday :).

When you exit the swim it is a little bit of a run to the transition area. I felt this went well and I had new shoes and new pedals only the day before. I wore socks because I hadn't gotten a chance to see how they worked. Overall it was good I had a little trouble clicking in but other than that it went well.

More practice with new pedals and cleats will help for next time. Maybe no socks for another sprint?

Nice flat course with some rolling hills. I went out a little fast and it bit me. Settle down about mile 3-4 and got into a good cadence and speed. Probably would have averaged closer to 20 if it wasn't for the first 3-4 miles.

Not much except pacing myself a little better. I think not clipping in right away got me a little frustrated.

Had a little trouble clicking out of my left foot as I was trying to dismount. No falls luckily just didn't pop out as easy as I was hoping.

Just need to adjust my pedals a little. I think in the future with some practice I will work on pedaling out of shoes.

Not a bad run. It was getting warm by then and the turnaround was at the top of one of the longer rolling hills. Heart rate got a little high here but was able to regain since it was right back down the hill. Was holding a good pace until then.

Pace a little better. It was my first time to do all three together and go that long on the bike and then run. I felt pretty good so wouldn't change much.

light stretching and ate some of the great spread they had. Hung out with some of the local tri folks I met and cheered them and others on.


Swim issues and coming out to fast on the bike.


Great race and I will do again next year. My son wants to do the kids tri that is the day before so we will make a it a family weekend again! Great job by all there and was a great experience for my first tri! Was also good to see the three physically challenged atheletes out there. Truly motivational and awesome to see!
