Woodstock Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

There were lots at least 35 strong swimmers huddled together by the buoy closest in line to the first turn buoy. I had to back up prior to the swim start so I didn't get in their way.

Thankfully I used my 910xt Garmin and switched on the multi-sport feature. I was able to set my swim splits per 100m.

After seeing my results, I noticed that my pace dropped in the 2nd, 3rd & 4th split.

Next time, I will swim harded in the middle and not wait for the final stretch to turn it up.

Luckily, the wet suit came off very easily at the feet. I sometimes get dizzy and fall over. I came close but held onto the bike rack with lots of strength.

Put my helmet on as I take off my wet suite.

I always have challenges getting my legs warmed up for the first 5K of the cycle. It was a small steady climb at first.

I got cramps in my calves, may have been from the swim since the water temp was really warm.

A lot of men in the 40+ age group were zooming by me very easy.

Improve my bike start since this has always been a challenge. I do tend to fly afterwards but being the 1st race, I will cut myself some slack. Lots of work to do before my next race in 3 weeks.

My cadense. I normally average over 90. I averaged 79 which tells a bad story.

This part went well.

Choose a more strategic location with in the transition area.

This is my best area. I was hoping for a 4.34/KM run but managed a 4.43/km run. My stomach felt weird throughout the whole run. I drank a whey shake before the swim and it didn't sit well. Felt like crap during the run.

Found it difficult to go faster since I was holding my stomach. I did manage to sprint near the end and holf off another pursuer behind me.

Ensure I eat lighter pre race which wont effect the run. Change my run pace with 1.5 left to go.

Did nothing but sat on the bench recovering!!!


Not having a solid off season bike workout.
