Subway Coronation Triathalon - Triathlon

Not be afraid to tap more feet and have more training on burst of speed to pass. Also to perfect my bilateral as I only breathe to the right every two strokes as of now.

I don't have a breakout time for any of my transitions. This is rolled into my total bike time.

Place my "optional bad weather gear" farther back on the mat to provide less distraction. Lay out the base plan and have the farther back items as alternates.

I could have pushed myself harder on the uphills. I had tonnes of energy and my legs were ready to go BUT I wanted to save myself for the run. It scared me.

More mental prep to increase my confidence for the run and allow myself to push harder on the uphills. I rode nice and hard on the downhills.

Again, no breakout time for this. It was very smooth/swift and didn't feel stressful at all.

I will rack my bike in a different place next time as the dismount area was almost as far as possible from my rack space. I will position my bike closer to swim and bike 'return' next time as I can run out faster in shoes than I can walk a bike in cleats.

It was very hard for me. Old skateboard knees really felt every thump as I was on the downhill. Heading back up was fine.

More downhill training. In my run training i could hold a 5:30, or faster, pace for 5km then slow to a 5:40 or so for the remainder. On this downhill I hurt so much I had to slow it waaaay down to avoid injury.

Full set of stretches. Orange/banana and a veggie sub. loooots of water.


I will work hard on my downhill running and bilateral breathing for the swim. My 2nd triathlon on July 1, 2013 will be even better!
