Desert Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

This was by far my best swim yet. I took almost 5 minutes off of my last swim in December.

I am playing around with the idea of just using the De Soto 2 piece wetsuit. I feel that I can swim much better without a top and will try and use the bottoms.

I got flustered during the transition. My wetsuit got really stuck and had to sit down to pull the legs off.

Use body lube to help with taking the wetsuit off.

I babied the bike, plain and simple. Its a brand new bike so I was really careful with it.

Not baby the bike.

Not too sure what I would do differently except throw the other guys bike on the ground. He literally threw his bike on top of all of my stuff I had laid out including the ladies stuff next to me. She was pretty upset!

Forget the socks for sprint

Good run and I had taken 3 mins off of my normal 3 mile run. My chest was super tight and I could not get a second wind. I think my issues are with my clothing.

I am going to run either shirtless or with a loose fitting shirt during the next sprint at Coronado.

Fruit, gatorade, water and hug from my kids.


Lack of training. My work schedule has limited me quite a bit from training the way I need to. I put out harder than normal this time with the swim and the run but held back on the bike.


This was a good race and the lake Cahuilla venue is awesome, I love it out there in the desert. Its a nice break from the cool coastal temps in San Diego. I would like to see a beer tent and maybe a kids activities area with bouncy houses for the stressed out moms waiting on their husbands or vice versa.
