TriRock Annapolis - TriathlonSprint

Much better swim for me than last year. I was about 2 minutes faster this year, but I was much more confident in the water. Last year was my first ever ows and I suffered severe panic. Taking the time to prep for the race and getting comfortable in the open water really helped me this year.

I still need to work on my speed, maybe doing drills rather than just swimming laps when I go to the pool. Different goggles, we were swimming into the sun, which made it hard to see the buoys with clear lenses.

Much better transition for me, All the advice from BT helped me cut my time down

Not much very pleased with my time

I knew what to expect as I did this race last year, but I was still unprepared for the hills. Due to a calf injury in December I wasn't able to train the way I wanted to for the hills.

Work on the bike, I have plenty of room for improvement. More time in the saddle for sure, I need to work on both my endurance, and my handling skills. Being able to keep my shoes clipped in when I mount and dismount is a skill I need to learn.

Dismounted and ran my bike into transition. Easily found my rack, and racked my bike. I put on my socks and running shoes, and removed my helmet. I grabbed my race belt and put it on as I was running out to save time.

Learn to leave my shoes clipped into my pedals. Maybe get speed laces for my running shoes.

Great run finally broke 30 minutes in a race.

I needed to drink more on the bike so I could skip the last water stop on the run.

Lots of stretching then just walking around trying to find my family.


Lack of training due to a calf injury in December.


Even though I was under trained I still PR'd and finished 13 minutes faster than I did last year. Overall I am very pleased with my performance. Plus I got to meet the Claaaw in transition, the weather was perfect, so overall a nice day.
