5430 Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Lined up front and center and sprinted to open water. Later I got run over by a pack of 4 women which was a challenge. Then I swam by myself the whole way in. Overall pretty good.

Maybe not sprint so much out of the gates. And toughen up about swimming in a pack.

Pretty good considering I had to remove a wet suit and put shoes and socks on.

This was a huge improvement for me! I was thrilled with my ride. I just kept pushing the whole time and felt like my training was there to support it. This was probably my weakest leg - but my focus on it this spring really helped. It was also big that I pre-rode the course a few times and could just tell myself to hammer up to the light at the end of Broadway.

I should have trained more in aero, but got my new mountain bike and did a lot of training on that.

I just swapped shoes, traded helmet for visor and went. Pretty funny when I went to pick up my stuff what a mess I left it in. Bike shoes Velcro still undone tossed in random places. It definitely looked like I had been in a hurry. I was pretty happy with this.

Nothing - pretty happy with sub 1 minute.

It was HOT! I had some shot bloks I should have grabbed in my transition, but figured I would just get a sports drink on the run. I never found one however. Lots of water and offers of gu and bars, but can't do those while running. I just pushed through it and kept going. I was pretty happy with my time given limited training due to a broken toe in April. I gave it my all and ended up dry heaving in the parking lot. I freaked out when I crested the hill and the finish line was not at the bottom like every other event I've done at the res. I had nothing left and for the life of me couldn't remember where the finish line was. I eventually made it though and collapsed under a tree. That cold wet towel sure did feel good.

Grabbed my shot Bloks for the run start.

Does 15 minutes of dry heaving count?


Lack of running training. Need more mass start OW practice.


I really enjoyed the race. It was exactly as expected. No surprises. I thought it was really we organized other than never finding sports drink (could have been me.) Really could have used a Gatorade on the run or after finishing. The post race food could have been better. Although I did love the Evol mini Burrito!
