Fairfield Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

The pool was nice. It was slightly heated, though you'd never know but it likely kept the temperature just right. The pool start was a staggered start with a person going every 15 seconds. It worked good early as no backups occured before I went, though I heard later there was congestion with the swimmers backing up at points. No swim caps were given for this event.

They needed a bit more organization with the swim. We were lined up by swim time and it eventually sorted itself out.

T1 went fine. It was a moderately long run from the pool to the parking lot for transition.

Nothing. I thought I went faster than 1:43, but I slowed down trying to catch my breath plus I had to carry my bike around to go down another aisle as a guy was plopped down in the middle of our aisle putting on a pair of biking shorts.

I thought I went faster than this!

Keep pedaling!

I slowed down a bit going into T2 - I had pushed it a little extra during the bike and I was pretty tired through T2.

I had to walk a couple of times. My legs were tired from a good bike.

Walked and got a few drinks.


The breakfast was awesome!! Pancakes and freshly made Breakfast tacos. There was lots of extra goodies to eat, too! They had very good volunteers as well.
