Pioneer Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Very unorganized at the start. I kept asking people their estimated times but clearly some people were not too realistic about their times. I guessed I would be a 5:15 and ended up with a 5:10 but had to pass at least three people to get that time. I felt strong throughout the swim. Probably faster first half then the last half though

Move up in the race line so I am around faster swimmers.

Good transition time for me. By far my best (only fourth race). The transition area was short so that helped the time. This was the first race I went sockless and that really showed in my T1 time. Struggled getting my Garmin watch on and started. I need to figure out a better way to handle the watch

Strap the watch to my bike and don't worry about getting it on my writst in T1. Also need to see if there is a way to prevent it from going into powersave mode while I'm doing the swim. Overall very happy with the T1 but room from improvement

Overall a pretty good bike. I was hoping to average around 20mph but I was a little slower than that. I should have pushed a little harder through the hills but I was worried about using too much energy. My cadence sensor wasn't working but I thought I kept a nice high cadence throughout the race

The wind was mostly a cross wind with a bit of a tail wind out and head wind on the back. Passed by one guy around mile ten but kept him in site until the end.

Use the heart rate monitor more to gage my output

This was my fastest T2 so I must be doing somthing right. I felt a little slow getting my shoes tied but overall I was happy with the time

Off: 1) Glasses, 2) Helmet, 3) Shoes
On: 1) Shoes, 2) Hat, 3) Bib number 4) grabbed a GU

Ran to the run-out

Need to work on bike dismount, I come to a stop them get off the bike... easy seconds to be had here. Also I put on my race number in the transition, I can do this on the road jut as easy

Not a bad run. I was constantly trying to save energy for the hills at the turn around. They were tough but not too bad. I had my GU at the top of the hill. This was probably a little late in the game. I was glad I put hills in some of my trainng runs, I was able to recover from the hills pretty quickly

By the end of the race I was able to sprint the last 200 yards and wasn't completely gassed at the end. I had more in the tank but mentally couldn't get myself to push harder. My goal was a 7:30 min/mile and I knew I was at that pace so that might be why it was tough to push harder

Not much, listen to the heart rate monitor more and challange myself a little more

Tried to stay moving as much as I could


I pushed myself pretty good throughout the race but there was room to push harder. Overall very happy with the results and my performance. Compared to last year I am very much ahead of where I was.

I need to train more on the bike, I have a half marathon I've been preparing for so the run has dominated my traing so I'll need to balance that out a little more


Other than the unorganized and slightly late start to the swim, the race was good. Challanging but fun course. I will be back next year, its a good race to see how the rest of the season is going to shape up.
