Huntersville Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Passed a few people, so that threw off my rhythm.

Need to learn to flip turn for pool swims, lost a lot of time on my turns. Need to continue to improve breathing. Last 150 yards were clear and I should have pushed a little harder.

Thought transition was good. Decided not to put on long sleeve top, which was a good choice. No problems getting everything on and out to the bike start.

Felt good on the bike. Passed several people and kept a pretty good pace. My cadence sensor was dropping in and out which annoyed me. Had some issues when in my lowest gear, it would go back up a gear and then back down. Need to have it adjusted and didn't ever have this problem in training.

I think I could go harder on the bike.

Racked bike in wrong spot (wrong side of towel), so had to move it.

Rack bike in right spot.

This was the part I was most worried about. The first 1000 meters, my legs felt heavy, but right before the bridge, I started getting a good feel for it and had a really good run. Hit my goal time exactly.

Talked with friends, ate some oranges, and then went and put on dry clothes.


I need to do a better job of warming up. I'll be sure to ride and run some before my next race.


This was my second triathlon and the other one was a couple of years ago. I think I have more speed in each of the areas, so I'm looking forward to the rest of my races this year.
