Sprint Triathlon at Vistancia - Triathlon

I am a terrible swimmer. I was just happy I finished. My time was actually better than my best training day, but my form and breathing were much worse than normal.

Nothing besides better training and just relaxing.

T1 and T2 times included in bike time total

Got a little list and ran a longer distance than necessary inside transition area. Should have practiced that part once I got there...

My chain slipped twice and I spent probably 3 mins and got all greasy putting my chain back on. Probably something I was doing wrong with gear change because it happened going up a hill both times. I passed many people on hills- I train on hills at home in Oregon and this course was generally pretty flat. I got passed a lot on the flats. Woulda been a pretty good bike time without my chain issues...

Know my rental bike better. Practice tight u turns more- lost time here. Otherwise a good ride all things considered.

T1 and T2 times are in with total bike time. Spent an extra minute drinking a little more water and putting on some more sunblock. I'm an Oregon pasty white girl in Arizona for the weekend....sunblock is mandatory.

Maybe skip the water...

Ran pretty good. Better than my average training time, I puked up some water around mile 2.5- I think I got 1 too many Dixie cups of water from the water station but I didn't even miss a step- just barfed on the go- I was too close to the finish to slow down.

Drink less water.

Tried not to barf while I cleaned chain grease off my hands and neck and poured water over my bright red face and neck.


Nothing really except needing to train more


First tri complete! Next order of business: more swim lessons!
