Delavan Lake Triathlon - Sprint Distance - TriathlonSprint

Pretty Crazy layout. Not sure I can fully comment b/c of it being my first tri, however there has to be a better way to avoid confusion.

Find a better spot to start from (I was right in the middle). Need to practice more in open water b/c I kept going crooked.

My time here wasn't as bad as it looks. Since this was my first Tri, me and my other first timer decided to wait for each other. At least 2 minutes of this time was waiting for him. Ironically, I would have placed in my age group if I didn't wait....live and learn.

Definitely need a new set up in Transition area. I had my sunglasses in a bag and only one towel. Next time I will make sure and take off goggles,cap and top during run to T1, not wait for anyone, and have two towels.

Was extremely happy with my ride. I may have went a little too hard, b/c my transition to run took awhile. The pace was great, passed a good number of people and felt solid the whole ride.

I need to do a better job of shifting gears, and properly placing food/drink.

This result was fantastic for a first time tri guy, with not much biking experience.

Shift down earlier on hills. Pace a little bit better to make the run easier

The run started very slowly for me as my left foot was numb from biking and my quads were sore, too. After the first mile, however, I started getting into a good pace.

More Bricks. Continue speed work.

I warmed down very easily. Makes me think I could have went harder on the run.


Transition times were slow. Changing from bike to run needs work.


This was my first race ever, but the race seemed to be run fairly OK. I think they needed more volunteers for sure.
