Boulder Sprint Triathlon - Triathlon

new swim start meant a lot of crowding on the course. did a great job threading through the packs, but was not happy to have to navigate through the packs to begin with.

maybe start in a different wave?

I think these questions are for a much more proficient triathlete than I ... felt like I was moving in slow motion.

not hook my sunglasses on my aerobars. yes, it kept them from falling off, but it was a pain getting them off.

bike was a tad crowded, but I felt like I rocked it pretty well. kept a higher cadence and a lower gearing for much of the first part of the race and I think it helped to both get the legs warm and save them. much experimenting will be needed with similar technique for peak ...

re-teach myself gear shifting coming out of downhills to uphills.

it's a t2?

since the run was just a 5k, maybe not body glide the feet. maybe try trislide instead?

legs were kind of yucky for the first mile. breathing ... was interesting. definitely felt better in the latter half of that run. glad I was able to outkick that damn old guy in hokas as well as like five other people in the chute.

pace a little better; run smarter.

walking around, trying not to die.


i'm fat and slow. and this is early season and I am nowhere near my peak form. hopefully.


would have gotten a four if it had been the first time I've done this race, but given as it was the third year in a row, I feel like it's regressed.
