Dryden Canada Day Triathlon - Triathlon

Good course. Cut my heel on entry or exit not sure when. Only discovered injury after event was over. Lots of saftey people course well marked.

Like everyone states swim more. Focus on the front crawl more. I swam a lot back stroke and side stroke.

Transistion are not record on chip. And I forgot to start the next lap until I was pedaling. Happy with T1

Nothing. But remember to hit the lap button on the watch

Good bike segment. Had bike malfunction for first km or so. I couldn't get the front derailleur up to the big ring. I ended up adjusting the cable on the fly and left it in the big ring for the entire ride.

Double or triple check the bike shifting. I felt I could have went a little hard on the bike.

Good T2 smooth. Clipped in and out left shoes on and ran with shoes.

Practice jumping on and off bike. More the off part. Maybe buy tri shoes has the road shoes are hard to mount when left in the pedals.

My shins flared up 500 meters into the run. I couldn't figure it out as they never flare up. Later learn that I had a decent cut on my heel that was likely made me run a little different. Run pace was well below my brick paces. I was annoyed with myself until I finished and saw the blood on my sock. The cut wasnt to bad but enough to affect my stride.

Ha ha not cut my foot. I can't really say as I didn't run my normal pace because of the cut.

Walked around with the kids. Ran the finish line when my wife arrived with the kids in tow.


Cut my damn foot.


First real race. So I thought it was well organized. I've ran numerous running events and this event was well organized. If time permits I'll be back next year
