Steelman Triathlon - Olympic Distance - TriathlonOlympic

I need to work on my pacing. Too often I had to stop my freestyle and go to breast stroke. I could pick up a couple of minutes if I just paced properly.

I need to learn how to put the shoes on while riding (e.g. rubberband them on the pedals). I am sure I am losing 30 seconds to a minute putting shoes on. I also need to look at going sockless. That took up some time.

clip shoes on bike, go sockless.

I took it easy until I got on 563, which was smart. I've burnt myself out trying to go to fast too soon up hills, and this time I felt great.

I need to push harder and train harder. I could have done better, I was too conservative on the bike.

This was a pretty quick transition for me. It went well and I've gotten faster since using those bungie type laces that don't require tying.

I need to get a tri specific suit. My clothing is a little heavy.

Mother nature called during the run and I lost two minutes in the loo. Not sure what I could do about that, but I certainly felt faster after.

just walked around a bunch.


my bowels, my lack of training on the bike and my ability to push myself into more "pain" area


It was a good time and a beautiful venue.
