Callaway Gardens Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I think I'll start a bit closer to the front of my group next time. Also need to get more swim workouts in.

T1 was good overall

Just need to practice transitions more

Bike was good overall. I was riding my 4 day old tri bike and I held back since I was not used to the bike yet. It really felt SO much faster than my now-retired mountain bike. I was pretty amazing! I didn’t really get much water either since I cut the straw on the aero bottle since I thought it was too long..oops! The only bad part of the bike was that I stopped short behind someone coming into T2 and fell from not unclipping 2nd foot quick enough. I got up really fast, but was a little rattled…

Well I will obviously ride a lot more before next race to adjust to new bike. Get more aggressive and stay in aero bars more. Unclip both feet quicker to avoid falling again.

T2 was maybe the worst part of race. I was a little annoyed that I fell getting off my bike. I was trying to wipe the dripping blood off my hand & leg and was kinda slow. Smeared some body glide on the cuts to help stop bleeding..kinda worked.

Be more careful coming into T area…unclip. Maybe put some paper towels near my stuff so if I need to grab them they’ll be available. It would have been nice to run with them so I didn’t have to worry about my scraped up hand.

Felt good despite being overly concerened with my bleeding hand and knee...

Need to do more brick workouts and more long runs each week

Not much cool down. Found parents and husband, ate a banana and got some water. The first aid was kind of scare at the finish. I found 2 EMT’s who gave me an alcohol wipe…but it was old and dried up. Luckily my cuts were minor!


Falling at T2..still nervous on new bike


Would have liked to see timing chips used...so you can see all splits.
