Tri For Humanity - TriathlonSprint

Short swim, so nothing atypical about the time. Just the usual. Too difficult to really find a steady rhythm so it's more or less just swim it and get out. I only really worry about my actual pace on longer swims when pace means something.

Transition about 100 yds from swim exit. Very nice transition area, by the way. Grassy, no massive grassy hills to run down (like we usually have at Stonebridge).

Used the roadie on this course because I still feel a lack of power on the tri-bike and I still can't figure it out. Since I road this course recently for King Tut I wanted to be able to compare the two to see if there really was a difference or if I was just feeling different on the two bikes. Well, the times speak for themselves. I am much faster on the road bike, and it's a cheapo entri-level Trek as compared to my Felt S22 tri-bike. So something is amiss, and it wasn't until I did the MS 150 at the end of May that I eventually figured it out.

Simple transition. Nothing remarkable.

Solid run, blew away my group. About 1/2 mile into it was passed by another runner who seemed to be running a fast but doable pace, so I locked onto her heels and just matched her stride for stride. It was tough running, but fast, and I was able to hang. She definitely helped me with the pacing and was the reason I won the group. Thanks.

Short swim, road bike


Good sprint race, and the start at Adriatic tower is a nice change of pace from the usual Stonebridge races.
