St. Peters REC-PLEX Spring Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Come from swimming background, but still getting used to swimming with so many other people in the pool too!!

Needed to warm up shoulders more, because they were stiff

Wasn't so fast with the shoes.

Bring Bucket to have a seat

Got stuck behind tractor trailor at the QT

Drink more water/gatorade mix. I was worried that i may have went out a little to hard but it turned out well. Sometimes bike gears slipped.

Bike portion went better than i expected overall.

Legs felt like complete jello. Walked transition area both ways. Wasn't sure i was going to be able to run. Almost forgot to take my helmet off. HAHA.

Already had running shoes on so i didn't have to change shoes in this transition

Run pace felt strange. My ultimate goal was just to finish. In the beginning i thought i wasn't going to make it. As the run went on i started to feel like i could pick up the pace, but then i would feel like i was running out of gas at the same time. I still think my pace might have been to comfortable

Run faster! I missed finishing 3rd in age group by a minute. Could have picked it up in transition run.

Practice drinking and running without choking

Walked a little watched other finishers. Went home and took a long nap. Muscles/knees a little sore later in the day.


I love these types of races. They are great for beginners. I loved seeing such a diverse group of athletes. Just goes to show everyone can be a triathlete. Was a very empowering day for me.
