Sylvania Triathlon - Sprint - TriathlonSprint

For me the swim was rather good, the last race i did i panicked the entire swim, i had to breast stroke 99% of it, but I was still happy that I wasn't freaking out and didn't have to flip over to my back. I even passed a few people from my wave and the wave ahead of me.

Need to learn how to freestyle.

I was pretty happy with the time overall since I was racked on the opposite end of the bike out, didn't have a choice since you were racked based on number.

I need to get a tri top, getting the cycling top on was a pain when wet

Overall I was very happy with the bike, i have only been avg 18.5 on the bike in my training rides, I thought for sure I was going to burn out, but amazingly did not.

Need to drink a little more, I had a gel in the last mile to get ready for the run, maybe could have done that a little sooner.

I almost crashed when i unclipped from the bike my cleats hit the pavement and I went sliding.

I haven't mastered the bike handling skills to get out of the shoes on the tri bike, i can do it on the mtn bike. will have to work on that.

The run went pretty good. I had to pee so bad i almost stopped at a porta potty on the course. The local community was cool everyone was sitting in their driveways cheering, and some even had sprinklers hitting the road you could run thru. Didn't drink at the beginning, had a cup of gatorade at the 1/2 way point.

More Bricks, i've done a few but the legs just weren't there. Time was slow, i really need to work on the run.

drank a beer, had some fruits and veggies, walked around.


lack of running base, need a better swim stroke.


I really enjoyed this race, it was nice to see what little training i have done this year has paid off. I took 19 min off my time from last year and couldn't be happier, I know I need to work on the swim and my run, but I was still pleased with the progression.
