5430 Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Absolutely horrible swim. Starting in the back I was able to freestyle about 100 yds and then went south with breathing problems and never catching breath. Switched to the slowest and most inefficient breast (or my version) and it was an incredible long 27 minutes in the water. Stopped briefly on one of the buoys and got ran over by the women elite, women second wave and then the older men's group at the end. If that's not demoralizing I am not sure what is. It felt like an hour out there and I'm not sure how I beat 33 people in the water, feel sorry for them too.

learn to swim, play golf, or catch one of the jet skis

Okay transition. My plan worked. Since I'm half blind or 3/4 blind I got to the transition area and since it was by waves there was one person and one other bike in my rack area so now trouble finding my bike. Got the wetsuit stuck on the timing chip for a couple seconds

Nothing really since a 1 minute decrease in time will not help me much

Was okay with the bike and about my race average. The only problem was my idiot thinking and not realizing the race number on the tube would cause problems and I was constantly fighting and moving it. Got passed by a lot and did some passing.

Bike more, but really don't have the time and also fix the number. Also learn how to start on the bike

Okay with my time only problem was not making a turn to the exit so cost a second or two

Not much

Okay run except started to get a little warm and cramped in the hamstring in the end. A little slower than my Bolder Boulder butokay after the other two events and better than last week

not much

walked around and grabbed some food


my horrible swimming and not enough time on the bike


Don't think I will do any more open water swims
