Wasaga Beach Triathlon - Sprint Distance - TriathlonSprint

changed style a bit, worked on keeping stride long and cadence up a bit, kept arms low hands facing down but still swing for momentum felt a bit odd but works, not as tiring on the shoulders.

nothing a great run

Good transition a bit slow, took some water at the transition ran to mount point.... it was quite a way from the racking area

rack closer to the mount / dismount area cost me time

Good bike ride for my first sprint distance, passed quite a few people, kept a good pace, found a few fast bikes to pace myself against and that helped, need to get a water bottle/drink system up on my bars didn't drink enough, to hard to get the water bottle and repace it and not lose speed. Tried a gel taped to the bike (first time) worked excellent needed the energy at the 3/4 mark in the bike.

better water system, need more work on leg muscle mass.

racked the bike front in, much better than last time, took time to drink some water cost me 15-20 seconds. Long run back out on sand to the transition timing area led to longer T1 and T2 times, Mikes times were much shorter their racking area was much closer to the dismount and the timing of the run.

not much

A great run lower ranking OA than previous 2 legs, running pace was just to slow but couldn't push much more out.

more running training this winter and leg muscle work in the gym

walk around some stretches eat..eat...drink


running is still my slowest area, least improvement this summer.


Not as well organized as other events I have attended, even allowing for the cancel swim and logistical challenges that presented. Might do it again. I know I was put off not getting to swim I was all psyched for it.
